Thank you, GM. It's almost four months since I lost my Terry. I think I'm starting to be able to write about my feelings with more clarity and perspective.
That love will live on in you. Thank you for the wonderful poem. What a pleasure to see your name hot in this thread.
Damn, Neo... welcome back!
Vinco, Vici, Victum is a hell of a story, so well-written, using the words seamlessly.
Thank you! Some word lists seem to just auto-write a poem.

try cheaper (well think about it)
Sounds like a better option, still has the "r" sound I was looking for, and has a better ljnkage me thinks.
I might take a look at editing this one, it may have promise, or it could just be another electronic dust mite

Do you ever forget how good a writer is because you lose track of their work and then they just randomly pop up and remind you.....
Good to see you back Desejo, and thanks for the read this morning.
..Hi Todski - thank you for the open armed welcome . Feeling the urge to write a bit, though I am seriously rusty.

is what you call rusty, I'll need some wet naps to clean up after I've read your more accomplished poems.Discipline
Y'know, I had looked at that collection of prompts and said to myself, "Not something I can do anything with."hot water and soap suds run

And then Tod comes along and just rips an incredibly arousing poem off that prompt.
I feel humbled. And schooled. By a guy who writes on his phone.

I'm serious, Tod. You should think about trying to get yourself published someplace other than here.
If I told you I wrote it one handed whilst using a panel saw I wonder if you’d be more impressed

I saw your last comment about submitting and didn’t acknowledge it because I have always sort of flirted with wanting to try and submit my stuff, and still have doubts about the validity of my writing, since I
1) write on my phone
2) mess up on spelling and grammar a lot
3) throw stuff out so quick I don’t think of myself as a writer or poet (despite being told I am by multiple people I respect as writers, peers and people)
4) if I don’t try and submit I can’t get rejected, so I can think and believe I’m good enough without having to actually find out.
5) I’d have to try and take myself and my writing more seriously and time wise, I just don’t have it right now, (though I could probably make the time if I thought it was viable, which means this is an empty excuse )<snip>
Tod, you write incredibly valid poetry. Spelling and grammar can be edited. Countless other writers and poets write "hot" -- meaning quick and dirty, then tuck it away so that when they take it out and read it aloud in a month, the flaws and the beauty will be more visible, and your poem isn't bright and shiny so you can make cuts, sew tucks, and generally edit it. If it's not a better poem after being tailored, go back to V1 and hack away again. Later, you'll see how brilliant V1 was and you can simply edit for spelling.
I identify with your excuses, mine have been similar through the years and now that you put them out there it sounds silly to have those arguments. But I struggle with quantity, sometimes I think I should just pull them all into little chapbooks and accept that if people like them, then maybe I'll drag them out for real publications. Not likely though. I don't think I can climb up and sort the huge pile of poems (or what I call poems, anyway) to separate the coal from the tailings and end up with high quality fuel.
Ah, what the hell? Let's burn it all ... maybe the ashes will be good.
Wow... this is all dross. Check out the mixed metaphor and extended drivel!.. LOL!
PS- Your poems don't belong in the slag heap at all.
Impressed? Yes. Alarmed? Also yes.If I told you I wrote it one handed whilst using a panel saw I wonder if you’d be more impressed

I think we may have a new genre, or even a new poetry "School" .. Todski's own brand of erotic + gritty life, nearly Beat but not quite a generation, YET!panel saw poetry
