Voting Question: Ideas for a small scrapbook for a friend?
(Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:05:06 GMT)
I'm making a sort of scrapbook for a friend who is an elderly lady who has been my writing mentor for more than 10 years. She's in her 90s and lives in a retirement home type place in New York. I have this small blank book that I am using, and I have been cutting out pictures from magazines, but I'm not sure what else to put in it...poems, quotes? I don't know. I wondered if anyone has any ideas for me of what else I could put in it.

Voting Question: Mom's retirement dinner. Do I have to give a speech?
(Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:46:43 GMT)
My mom's retirement dinner is this evening. One of the teachers told me some of the teachers are writing poems and if I wanted to write one. I said okay.. Now its the day of and I feel awkward writing one or saying it in front of 40 people. I'm going to be terribly nervous and I feel that the things I want to say about my mom are sentimental things that would be better said in a card to her. I don't want everyone to think badly of me though. Not all the teachers are writing poems, just a few.

11. Why does Robert Frost allude to Eden in "Nothing Gold Can Stay"?
Eden's short-lived perfection is similar to the temporary perfection of nature's first green.
Eden is known to be filled with gold.
Eden is a place that remained perfect forever, just like the world described in Frost's poem.
Eden is a place that Frost visited many times.

Resolved Question: Would you care to comment on this poem about retirement?

Party of Two
I am learning to live
With another voice
Chattering through my
Creative thoughts;
Other sounds in the house.
Busy shoes that clickety click
Up and down the hallways;
Go in and out of doors.
I am learning to live
With a snacker;
A retired fast tracker while he
Learns how to play golf and the guitar;
How to paint.
My heart’s singular complaint . . .
It yearns to drink heartily again
Of the solitude it once knew.
But all things come to pass;
This too shall fade into my past

Broken Bottles (Memorial Park)
We all stood out there
Drew, Terry and I joking with the girls
Tim crouching next to a car with an ounce of weed
a hipster standing above him waiting for his fix
and nervously watching for cops that would never come
Allen pulling up on his motorcycle
younger kids sitting in the grass with their cigarettes flashing
from one side to the other
all of us
out there
in the October air
with the city blurring before us
cars passing through with subwoofers

(Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:23:07 GMT)
Fair- Haven
Cobblestone paths lead peace
Space crowded I’m at ease
Strong espresso steamed air
Timid fortune there.
Common cars line the block
V.W. Bugs, Buses, Campers
Thoughts haven- radiate
Town sets watching a Bay
Red sunsets wash night sky.
University and retirement collide
Round community, earthy pride
Theater, music, dance to absorb
Meditate, focus the Sound orb.
Thanks!

This is what we are working with. Someone help me make it stunning!
I parked the truck and took one last look

Answered one more “well wish” call
And boarded a plane one last time
I gave it my best but now I’m outta here
Goin’ to my happy place… back soon.
This last line is the theme of the party. Thanks!

What was is ... since 1930;
the boys in my old gang
are senior partners. They start up
bald like baby birds
to embrace retirement.
At the altar of surrender,
I met you

How your misfortune came out clearly
to us at twenty.
At the gingerbread casino,
how innocent the nights we made it
on our Vesuvio martinis
with no vermouth but vodka

(Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:42:37 GMT)
The town idiot who walked the streets
with a beatific smile
must have been bewildered
by our stones, back then
when I was a child.
It's an act of will and confession
to bring him forward now,
my first gesture to you.
To hide myself from myself
I've used various veils of weather,
the hopeful smell of just-cut grass.
"What a nice day to be alive," I've said,
while headlines screamed atrocity
and I couldn't locate what I felt.

Resolved Question: What about this short poem?
(Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:14:41 GMT)
The neighbor's house is calmly a' blazin';
feverishly in
tight twists of twilight that
gnaw away the casing of security.
And I smell the smoke but fail to react;
it's a lazy day
for me
and I can't be bothered with negligible sorrow.
But the burning lasted through the day
into the space between
evening yawning and night's dizzying morning minutes,
...spacey after dreaming
deeply the day before.
I dreamed easy...
retirement came early.

Resolved Question: Honestly what do you think of this poem?
(Thu, 01 Jan 2009 18:06:18 GMT)
One more era of innocence passes freely,
Without a futile grasp at the clock;
No last hope of aging gracefully,
By not aging at all.
As one more year comes and goes,
We seem to all be standing still, watching as
Lives come, lives go.
Just like the memories of those that once were,
The last moment of sanity comes,
In the form of grief unbearable.
Remember, it doesn’t have to end,
The faces don't have to fade unbearably,
With eye contact one more fable.
Imagine one night, a second chance in what

Resolved Question: Ideas please? What should I write on Christmas greeting cards? (BEST ANSWER!!!)?

Hi. :] I am going to be mailing out about 60 Christmas greeting cards to a retirement home nearby. I, of course, don't really know any of these 60 people I am going to be sending cards to, so what do I write on the cards? I want each to be unique and special for each person. I was thinking about maybe putting a different poem/riddle on each card, but I don't know.. Any ideas please?
EASY 10 POINTS!!!
It's more of just a holiday greeting card- not a Christmas card.

A magic moment I remember:
I raised my eyes and you were there.
A fleeting vision, the quintessence
Of all that's beautiful and rare.
I pray to mute despair and anguish
To vain pursuits the world esteems,
Long did I near your soothing accents,
Long did your features haunt my dreams.
Time passed- A rebel storm-blast scattered
The reveries that once were mine
And I forgot your soothing accents,
Your features gracefully divine.

At Last
Displaced as a refugee from a disaster,
he sits peacefully over morning coffee
and ponders a new life
he no longer has to plan for;
retirement has come at last.
It will take some getting used to . . .
being this happy;
finally free to explore
another place to be.
Looking out the window
surveying the fruits of his labors,
he sighs and smiles.

No plowing, no playing, no mud to pull in

My body is rusting and so are my tools,
Its been 7 winters, and I haven't moved
I've sat here waiting, nothing to lose.

(Thu, 25 Oct 2007 18:24:23 GMT)
I'm trying to find a nice, concise word for presenting a consistant theme in a particular poet's work. The poet describes characters and situations which are largely unimpressive, but then elaborates to reveal the splendor and extraordinariness present internally. He deals with the external versus the internal.
One example of this is in one of his poems, where the poet introduces an enigmatic character who has been forced into retirement due to physical inability to work, but remains shrewd a

The Dance
The security of your neatly order life

It seems a cruel illusion that nothing really lasts;
it hurts to say goodbye to the work of a youthful past.
Through the years you've labored long;
meeting each demand strong and steady,
now you wonder whether you're truly ready
to move on and build something new,
because the second half of your life is calling

My Father’s Old Brown Coat
The old brown coat was tattered and slack, the first time I put it on.
The frayed sleeves ran past my fingertips and the zipper was missing a tooth.
I can imagine it now like a person, petitioning for retirement,
a quiet perch in a darkened closet.
When I was a young man, the old brown coat came to rest in my closet.
Occasionally, I’d bring it out on cool autumn nights for more than just warmth.
Soon, other more colorful and sporty synthetic
