"Scattered leaved with poetic imprints." My new collection of poetry.
P.(tree)Log

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Well, it's now mid- 2019 and this is still the only book I use to house part of my new poetry.
I began using it years ago due to a lack of storage space in my over-700 item WDC portfolio.
I really need to do some spring, summer, fall and winter cleaning.
There are still lots of static items which have never received any mention by other members here.

But that's part of the problem of being a writer ( musician, artist, actor ... ).
I do not know how to network.

Thanks for discovering this link. Please leave a comment.
Bookmark it, please....
This is a writing site and not FarceBrook where it's so easy just to press the button "LIKE."
(( And I am not a fan of the fact that WDC has added it. ))

An "embedded word" poem using the line:
"It will talk as long as it wants, the rain. As long as it talks I'm going to listen." Thomas Merton



it keeps its lessons hidden and
will dole them out like gold coins
talk back, by all means, but humbly
as shouting arouses a silent response
long periods of salty ocean drought
as if the world exploded and left only you
it asks for little in return, decades perhaps
wants this peaceful hand-in-hand thing
the ability for true compassion counts and brings
rain that nourishes far beyond body and soul
and expect nothing, allow the unexpected to surprise
as a marvelous sunrise to herald each day
long hours of contemplation, waiting out its slowness
as long as it takes, decades even, don’t rush its flow
it speaks the same language in millions of variations
talks about not complicating simplicity, never says
I’m sure this is the right path, because there are many
going from to that first gasp to the last eternal breath
to lend an earnest ear and always
listen how to decorate the steady sameness of life




a simple lifeline
