TITLES FOR BARE NAKED POEMS
Words should be only the clothes, carefully custom-made to fit the thought. –Jules Renard
- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
With the above in mind, I have tailored the following titles to fit a dozen poems fashioned to stir your imagination. WARNING: These poems may drive you stir crazy; do not take too literally.
WHITE OUT
I THOUGHT ABOUT EWE*
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
EASY WRITER
THIS IS A PIECE OF CAKE
THE ICING ON THE CAKE
POETIC SUBSTANCE ABUSE
BLACK AND….
SNOW JOB IN SIBERIA
DRAWING A BLANK

Sorry, but I still don’t see LIKES. Unfortunately, between the language barrier and my lack of computer skills, I can’t devote further time to pursuing this.

I hope you keep your poetic license on you at all times, Sr. Muse. The Pun Patrol is out there gunning for you. They know you’re a repeat offender.

I disagree with Renard. Words are not just the clothes of thought; if they were, you could take the clothes off and the thought would still be there. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed taking in the golden syrup of Ella’s audio. 🙂

You can never go wrong with Ella, which is one reason I included it in this post, which I don’t include among my better ones.

Thanks, M. This post was more hastily put together than my norm, so if it came out half-way ‘decent,’ I can’t complain.

Titles, titles everywhere, but where are the poems? (Well, the titles do make a poem! Yeah!) LOL
Finally, here’s what I posted on The Grant Journal in reply to your comment. Hope it helps clarify????
Hi mistermuse,
Woops! Now hold on, partner. I deeply appreciate any and all comments and, indeed, I do reciprocate, both answering comments and also commenting myself on fellow bloggers’ posts. But, muse, you ain’t posted nuthin’ here in a long time. Come on, man. I had no idea you were still posting anywhere, or where to find you. I asked Richard Cahill here awhile back and he said you weren’t posting here anymore. So I let it go. Now, experimenting around today I did discover a link to what I believe is your own blog site? I’ll check it out and see what’s what there. But, I’d strongly urge you, if posting somewhere else, paste in your stuff here also and I assure you I’ll comment freely! Ha. Yeah, I’m busy, but that’s not it–it’s just a case of not knowing.
Okay, let’s see if I can find you. 🙂
Have a good one,
Mark

As you see, I found you, but had to do a lot of surfing around, signing in, etc. Now post some of this back on Grant’s Journal–really, you’re needed there. And I’ll follow you like a faithful doggie! 🙂

Thanks for the clarification, Mark.
Having already posted my answer to the above on your blog, I will only add that I have all I can do to stay on schedule (every 5 days) with my own blog, much less worrying about posting on Grant’s Journal.
Take care.

The Muse finger writes and then muses on. Just a thought for a poem in the future.
I’ve been working on something for the last few days and I just realized I haven’t been here or the other place.

I’ve been very busy myself lately, Don — so much so that I haven’t been able to devote as much time as I’d like to my writing and commenting. But I guess it’s better to wear out than to rust out, as the old saying (I think) goes.

Actually, I did, years ago — it’s titled SEX SCELLS. If interested, let me know and I’ll send you a free copy (paperback). If you like it, you can reimburse my postage (let’s say $1) if you choose, but in any case, it’s yours to keep (or dispose of).
