Constantinople constantly contemplates coolness
Restraints ennoble Flagrantly fouled April-Foolness;
Constern da Nation: Achingly Pass da free Jewelness.

No belly required!

Welcome back

@ Kimberlee

Lonely lance…. what does that mean?

@ Sheer

False modesty is one of my most endearing traits.

@ Rosemary

Do people still part?

Peanut butter without sugar
Swallowed down with diet soda
Green beans black beans red beans pinto
Turkey chicken red meat lean though

I eat I eat I eat I eat
Not sweet not bread but beans and meat
White carbs bad carbs slow carbs good carbs

Each day lasts a little longer
Lifting weights to make me stronger
Walking through the half-baked desert
Sweating off the excess belly

I sweat I sweat I sweat I sweat
To far from the end to see it
Pushing to be less than just me

I’m posting in both places for the most part – AND on my blog.

Last year the Cerebral Mum responded to this prompt with a beautiful piece in Sapphic metre. Mine is by no means so beautiful, but that’s what I’ve attempted this time.

Departure

Anyway I, missing the boat, did not drown
thrashing wildly, nor did I turn in anger
striding up the pier and away. I only
waved as if calmly.

Spring is now beginning to rain on all things,
wetting even oceans and rivers, lakes too.
Only I’m not adding to all this water;
I am not crying.

You can sail away on your ship to elsewhere.
You can leave today or (I can’t remember)
was it really yesterday when we parted?
See – I forget now!

When the years are thundering slowly, heartbeats
drumming heavy down throughout time, through my time,
surely no pulse echoes to your blood rhythm,
nor will I dream you.

@ John: such modesty, but at least you’re useful for something. =)

Can you send me the details for the private forum?
