    • Chère C.,
      A friend of mine wished me a blessed Friday.
      I’ve come to absorb your words, art work and waive half of her well wishes to you…

      Kind regards, Gus

    • On second thoughts:

      The compass points North.
      We call that orientation, but the orient is in the east.
      If I look west, there’s the North Sea
      So it’s only natural for me to look south, now and again. And again.

      I Love this…
      Your poem makes me wonder…
      Kind regards, Gus

    Word Up

    WORD UP   So I say, word. Word up, it’s my turn to converse, to turn you from my heart. Baby, can you dig? I need your words, your smile, your visions of what is art.   Word.  What else can I say? Words lay at your feet, they rise and...

    • This is outstanding, Curt. It sounds to me like something Kerouac might have written. It needs voice, I think — but then, I think that of damn near everything — except a whole bunch of things I’ve heard on the radio and TV that should never have been heard by anyone. I do have my limits. There’s only one good thing about those things: I can turn them off. Now this, this is good very beautiful. It sings without the music. I could feel the need, the longing and the heartbreak. Excellent work, my friend.

    • This is some serious juice of a lexiphile! Gonna be sighing on this one for days…

    • “vivid as wildflowers” I might steal this line sometime! This beats for me as a song, it has the rhyme and the musical tune, and I can’t help but to remember “wind of change” yes the 80th song, because all I can think of is this poem being a revolutionary song and since the title is “Love” it even holds more power, great poem my friend, it radiates with enthusiastic energy.

      • steal away, my friend, steal away. we are, you know, wildflowers. we bloom in so many different varieties, so many different colors. thanks, Light, for your presence.

    • Well, I am glad I found you here, my friend. You are so welcome here and your voice is needed to give this piece the additional life it can have. Your words are very powerful, and I feel the song in it before you have given it that extra bit of life. So well written. I had no idea you were a revolutionary. Curt. Outstanding work! I look forward to hearing it. Please alert me when it is done.

      • Thanks FlatDaddy, I appreciate your words here. I am still working on the audio, so I will let you know when it is added. Sorry about the closing of the Spoken Word space here at SR it would have been fun. Thanks too, for the encouragement.

    • Your poem is amazing, absolutely amazing, dear Curt! To me love isn’t a feeling, it’s a state of being. When you become love, you will be the wildflower, the deep blue ocean and the bird song, the world needs to feel, hear and see to develop. By being the personification of love you help the whole world to become a better place!
      The rhythm and flow of your poem is superb, it calls out for becoming a song.

      • Hi Sappho, we humans NEED art, and I think as poets it is our responsibility to be part of making the world a better place, to be the wildflowers who associate and pollinate a world with life and color. Thanks for your visit Sappho.
