Twenty-seven poems, all tumbled from one line in the midst of a poem by a poet who writes with truth. His line became the first line of my first poem in this tumble, and the last line of each becomes the first line of the next, connection or not, at Muse’s whim.
Curious who started my tumble through words? His poem (and name!) and my twenty-seven poems, in order written, are found under the Poetry Tumble tab at the top of the page, or simply click here.
27. Love Approaches
an unlocked heart
beckons love to its inner sanctumbut mind
could
still interfere
for reason voices its opinions,
formed long ago
now fed by worryand others
and so, it is time to stand
tiptoes at precipiceSwan dive out of danger
with grace,
if you mustcartwheel headlong into love
with joy
if you daremind will adjust in time.

paisley’s last blog post..incarnation
Well, another month has gone by and I have been to busy to write. But for good reason, a little over 3 weeks ago Angie and I were honored to take into our family two foster boys. These boys were not strangers to us as we had knew them most of their lives and unfortunately we watched as their family disintegrated two years ago. And then the phone call came from Social Services, they had been in foster care for two years and now needed a new home, most likely permanently. Without hesitation we said of course as we had discussed it many times before and now they are here. Brandon age 14 and Richard age 15. But what leads me to this e-mail is this; Richard had to do a writing project and had to write poems. I already knew he was quite the artist, but after reading his poems I realized he had a talent at it too. So I started a blog for him so that he can showcase his work. I hope to put some of his drawings on next week and also hope that one day he may become comfortable enough with his blog and his talent to post them himself. So if you get a chance, please stop by and checkout his work, it would mean a world to him I believe to notice people reading his poetry. The two poems I Am and Reach are based on the popular video game Halo; if you don’t know the game you may not understand their story. You can find his blog at Vahalla. Thanks and hope all is well.
