~~Trapped Somewhere between

Hey Cherie thanks for making comment on this one, it came out a lot more gloomy than I anticipated it would, upon re-reading; some of them write themselves it seems...I def. get down in winter though when light isn't around, I've heard about the light thing and have one about 3 feet in front of my head and 4 feet above me, as we speak, does that work for you as well?....thanks again for encouraging comment, how is Tony doing after the surgery?  I know he's watching the game, lol... go Cowboys!

Val how are you?  I don't think your wrong at all, I saw it too when I read it as a reader; the tone is very heavy and dark...it was a stream write for the most part, I really didn't set out to write on anything in particular, but I was just in the mood to write something down on paper, and the words obviously reflected my mood at the time... Val to be honest I don't know how poetry works or how to control it for the most part, it just appears; I'm not sure how you write your beautiful verses but I love reading them

some of mine come out flat and irrelevant (to me anyway) and some interesting as hell...I think I appreciate other peoples work more than my own, I tend to over analyse mine...thanks for saying that at the end, very sweet of you and encouraging as well...have good day Val  

good-day me mate Barry (did I sound Aussie? lol)  how is the weekend treating ya...my friend I was born in the tropics and came to Canada as a boy, after all these years I still haven't gone over to the dark-side and embraced winter; although I ski and ice-skate...after December it's a struggle for me; dark cold days hit you like a punch in the gut, brother...I def. see myself on a beach somewhere with write sands all around the sound of the waves the smell of fish on the barbeque right beside me tossing back a few cold Fosters in the shade and yes the unrelenting sun is tampered by the cool trade winds rolling that suddenly roll in off the sea...lol that's it I'm booking a ticket to the islands, later amigo...hey thanks for comment...  ttyl  

Val I just saw your comment, thanks for saying that, I'm appreciative...lol I hope you're not a Cowboys fan cause they got JOBED!  Dez Bryant made that catch and made about 10 football moves, the NFL officiating is a JOKE, and I'm a Steelers fan...sorry about the rant, thanks again...cheers

Yeah I was convinced the Steelers would win this year, then Bell got hurt; oh well...I used to be a Cowboys fan many years ago, before Jerry Jones took over that team; sure they won, but I lost interest; what can you say about Jerry? I'm not a fan...Colts huh?  wow! not a bad pick but they are going into New England; I'm shaking my head, Val...it's gonna be tough...honestly I can't see anybody beating the Seahawks though, twelfth man rules and that is one hell of a football team...hey I am a huge Andrew Luck fan though and would not be disappointed in the least to see that team go to the Superbowl...enjoy duck watching, I think all the ducks out here are in hibernation...ttyl Val; missed din din...hey your poetry is crackling, always like the way you write 

Hey Cherie, how are u? you scared the heck out of me just now...I just got the beginning part of the message about T...anyway, sleep is always good but the fever and infection part understandably is worrying...keep praying though sis as will a lot of people I'm sure, around here, I know I will...was looking for his poems today and just assumed he was having the operation, today... I know why you're worried but try your best not to, I understand that the operation is one that will help him in the long run and the most important thing to him is your positive presence and energy....I don't know if you remember but my uncle got ran over by a truck about a year or so ago and is still recovering, it was dicey for a while with him but he's coming along, he will tell you though that if his wife wasn't around to support him, well let's said the reality would have been different, funny how us humans always go back to basic needs in times of trouble, just having a good woman like you at his side makes all the difference, so quit worrying...hey I feel bad for Tony for what happened to the Cowboys, men they got JOBED...hey Cherie, I'm serious please don't worry and stay positive...ttyl  got to eat, I'm starving right now, lol
