Hey Robert

Very nice. I think my favourite part is:

‘He shook
And held suddenly to his sanity
While lips
Too close in the dim light
Tempted rubied buried treasure’

or it might also be:

‘I’ll sail naked
water skimming lucid skies
etched into moons’

This is as a music, as a whisper.

I’ll be honest I don’t understand a lot of your poems
I put it down to the personal nature of them
But I love the structure of them
That and the fact you always come up with killer lines.
I’ve just spent the last 10 minutes or so bouncing syllables around reciting the first two verses of PLEASANTRIES in different deliveries.

LOVE IT

Thanks lawrencew and your welcome.
Danny :) Thats ok – sometimes I post them and think no-one is going to understand this so its cool. I have to concentrate on that a bit. I laughed imaging you reciting PLEASANTRIES. Someone reciting my poem…! hehe. I love getting a good rhythm and structure. I think that’s what makes a good poem – even more than the content sometimes. I’ve binned favourite lines coz they just didn’t work – saved for anther time. It doesn’t have to be a regular rhhythm but one that flows and is logical pace in reading it.

If you’d like to have a go at writing something that you think fits with one of my shots I will attach it in my Bubble. I am doing that for another photographer. Its challenging but I think it might be fun. But only if you want to. Cheers

Thanks Robert
I’ll give it a try
But be patient.
I’m having a big flash back surge at the moment.
The words are pouring out. Very emotional – in a good sense.
The silly T Shirts are keeping me balanced.

Robert Knapman, about 1 year ago

No worries. Thats ok. No pressure at all. Thought it might be a good collaborative thingy. Yep balance is good. Cheers.

My three favourite lines:
“Magnificent
Magical
Mandatory”
but I love the immediacy (hope that’s the word) of all your poetry… as well as the rhythm :)

Thanks Alison :) I’m really loving sharing some of my ideas here. Cheers

Robert
On Monday I’m going to post rather long story, concerning the happenings of the last week and abit. It is rather interactive and more than a bit ambitious, and quite frankly knowing this site most people wont even get to the end of it.
It draws a lot from my time on Red Bubble.It is part fiction, part autobiographical, part supernatural and part fantasy.
The reason I’m revealing this is to let you know that when I was working on it, this picture of the Cat was posted and I couldn’t think of a better photo to accompany it.
I have no idea how to link them but I just wanted you to know I think it’s a great pic and if I could have used it, it would be my number one choice.
Earlier I said the T Shirts kept me balanced, I seem to have lost that balance and want to start posting more journal entries.
This story may help explain some of what happened.
Take care
Regards
Danny

Hi Danny. That sounds pretty interesting. Never know where your coming from next. Look forward to this. Good luck with it…and with your balance. Don’t fall off now.

Do you mean the shot of this cat? That would be very cool if you did. I’m pretty sure I can work out how to have a pic to accompany your post. I at least know how to make a link. I’ll test on something and see how it goes.

Danny, about 1 year ago

Yes
I commented in the wrong spot.
The cat is integral to the story.

Robert Knapman, about 1 year ago

Thats great Danny. Glad my cantankerous feline can help out. Thats excellent.

To attach a pic you place an exclamation mark directly before and after the URL link for the pic (no spaces). To get the URL right click on pic, click ‘properties’ and then copy the URL to the journal entry. However I tried this on my latest journal entry and ended up with a very big (too big) pic. There must be a difference somehow between doing this in the forums – where the pic comes up a little bigger than a thumbnail.

Alternatively you could make a link to the pic by placing inverted commas ” directly before and after a word (such as ‘fiece Bikie Pussy’ or something), then follow this directly with a colon : then the address that appears in the address bar when the pic is open. eg: “FierceBikiePussy”: http://www.redbubble.com/works/show/41548 (no gaps and on one line). When you save it it looks like this FierceBikiePussy

Ill be online tomorrow at midday. Good luck.

Robert this poem is so nice.

Take care
This path is
Pilgrim privileged
Buried black agate
Dangerous hearts desire
And as real as rooftops
Magnificent
Magical
Mandatory

.....I love this part.

Robert Knapman, about 1 year ago

Hey thanks mayuphoto. Youve found some of my scribblings. Cheers .)
