David W. Parsley Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT 50+ YEARS OF POETRY VI When the blackbird took out the long frosted window it was open house on everyone and foreknown truths were all better now, even for popes and kids, because nakedness was the shield they got, and my shadow crossing their secrets again and again with creative angst - nothing indecipherable but a few hairs and cloth. Eye epic, the cheerleader makes a pure A in perfect praise. unpublished © David W.

tonyv Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes, the confessional. :) Gotta give it to that blackbird for accountability, transparency even in taking out that window!

David W. Parsley Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yes, probably caused quite a bump to the head. Maybe it wasn't just the canine cacaphony that sent him scurrying to flight, marking all those pits in the road. I think he just needs to lighten up, get the jive going with a few old beatnkis and hell's angels. Followed by a little therapy... Thanks for the perspective, Tony! - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
