I am not ignoring the prompt, but merely deferring it until another time in the future. It is an intriguing prompt that I wish to devote some time. Later, so I will use this opportunity to share two poems that I wrote in Aug. 2019 for an entry into a local art walk.... our local art gallery, Carnegie Gallery in Dundas, Ontario does an annual Art Walk, during Art Week, in which they team up with the Tower Poetry Society. Poets choose artworks to inspire poems and both are displayed on a walk through Dundas BIA. Beverly | Hidden |

It’s “Poem in your Pocket” day.... Check it out, here!
... aside from writing poetry all month, I’ve been trying to read more poems and find poems that speak to me — having time to do this is definitely a plus to these Pandemic Times — today, I read the saddest & loveliest poem...
Canadian Spring |
Like 8 tracks and cassettes, CDs 💿 are almost obsolete technologies, Just ask Sam the record man Those shiny, silver discs once dazzled me with magic, Or, if you’re more scientifically inclined - a semi conductor laser wrote and read music that enticed my ears and affected my life. That’s the magic of the mix cd. Now, I’m left with a museum of mementos; thousands of sparkling memories in the mixes of youth. Unhelpful titles scrawled across in my 13, 17, 21 year old handwriting, Relics representing events and feelings of ‘the best days of our lives’- not!
| Long since forgotten what the titles mean; they used to mean the world. Now, a total surprise and a complete mystery you don’t solve until you slide that cd into the player... Wait for her to load ..... and let loose all wild a n d f r e e. On the open road, you suddenly give nod to the equivalent of a stuck record needle, or the crumbling mess of cassette tapes, or a streaming stuckness. Going digital is the loss of the craft. It doesn’t have that certain slant of light; It’s just data and it’s invisible, all up in a cloud somewhere. With all the space in the world, you can add or delete songs on a whim. We used to slave over our latest creation. Couldn’t wait for all the appreciation Everybody wang-ed, everybody chung-ed Everybody had fun tonight Finite selections - 80 minutes, 18 or 19, 20 songs max - Gotta be selective, You had to pick and choose Keep a specific theme or mood Order mattered - Let’s face it, No one knew how to work the shuffle on those awkward clunky Discmans anyway! - You had to be certain. Once burned, burned forever! Oh, and, Never in the right case at the right time; Chasing the perfect song, Hunting for happiness and happy surprises. That’s the magic of the mix cd.

Because. Tool’s “Lateralus”....

i am woman, hear me roar. modern renaissance tendencies awaken in me in these crazy times, keep me sane, alive. i cry out. my battle caterwaul explodes from within. i’m a multipotentialite; anything is possible. ev’rything! all things can be if you’re ready to receive from the universe infinite possibilities spiral back to the universe. new light shine on |
Today is a great day to create a great day.
This site is my attempt at gathering all of my creativity that I have strewn about out 'there'....
