Aloha Poets,
Photo of the site of the Island to Island for Haiti fundraiser this Friday at the Hilton hawaiian Village. Enjoy!
A writer's hint: Your rendition is a little chat between your memory of an event and your imagination. Rendered on a page, the meaning of your images becomes "story."
In Story We Sing
The perfect symbol of rhyme casts me as it wishes
But only in the short time it takes us to do the dishes
Make me a quick believer or just forget about it
And on our little journey don't ask, "Are we there yet?"
That little picture presented is just a ball of putty
Stretching and pulling some makes it a little nutty
"Almost" comes close to "exactly" in point of fact
As quintessential hybrids line up as anointed tract
Get into face, places everyone who dreams
Novelty novelists, once a go it seems
As fuzzy and foggy details come and go
The passion that you see must simmer and glow
Of course those talking points aren't really true
The dialogue was made up so it would flow smooth
You had it going on and then again some
Honest emotion's more than just chewing gum
Feed off that fury make it more than a peep
Or barely enough barley for a gruff old barkeep
A natural order all dusty settles in to bring
The honestly believable in story to sing
Sure stone-faced slugfests may have their way
On accidental draw bridges as you try to cross the bay
Reshape the way it was and jostle for space
Look the fool then risk it all it's written on your face
What someone had said appears later on
Shout yourself out race into the song
The future of yourself lies there on the page
Something of an uptick, a childhood favorite rage
A certain little distance keeps your thoughts at bay
When hostile environments beckon, jump into the fray
Seams of destiny threaded careful and true
Seems destined to carry gingerly stars stare at you
Flip through that thing and refresh your mind
How did that go or get known once upon a time
As intrigue fragments into riddles and a rhyme
Life's a full parade of faces softened by time
