hello Jack

I think you were the first to suggest
that it might be possible to bring together
the old and new
black and white and color
the communal
and personal

hi susan t.

do you ever wonder
why you moved here
and who you would be
if you hadn't
I do
but usually when waiting for the bus

hi roy

time is circular, not linear
either though belief or understanding
these words

must mean something

hi Jake?

Is this you?
I don't remember but what I do remember is that you joked that your image
might end up in a gallery large and grand
instead its a fictitious postcard
on the web
hope you like it.

hi Mimi

there is a blessing in sight
and a gratitude to it
when showing what's seen

hi tony

I envision strength
as being something within
playing, dancing, speaking or being still

howdy Bjorn

did you ever get to taste
that popsicle covered in spices
from warm southern light

hello Ted

just got home
from music city
the athens of the south
lesson taught
I'm so full of shit
is there a more beautiful place to be reminded of this

hello Hadayr

Today will be filled
with many complicated forms of transport
yet the simple ones
seem most appealing

hi Bria

it seems like a good idea
to move forward with a Innocent heart
knowing you will get lost or hurt
but eventually find your way there

hi Beth

I often forget
that your day starts well in the night
your eyes so keen that shadows
are luminous
and the golden light greets you in motion

lost card

this one fell from my bag
had no message or name attached
perhaps its best discarded

Hi Laura

Spring time in minneapolis
and the illusion of this clean, white and still place
lifts and shows us whats hidden
it can be the blooming of crocuses, or budding green life
or 40oz bottles of malt liquor and cheetos bags

margarita

I think its true
if I understood what you said
that we can see child as carefree and pure
but do not always realize the daunting task
of dealing with our world

Hi Wincie

I remember first hearing of a minnesota writer
living in iceland
serving pork chops and humor
from a small cottage by the sea
in the years since I have come to admire him through his disobediant wit and general outlook on things
no doubt he will inspire generations to think

Hey Mala

10 till spring, at least that's what I heard
although can we count days
or just wait for that day
when we erupt from our homes
and embrace the warm wind
and flooded fields

hi Joseph

Your link for Ella Cara Deloria
came among chatter of lunch, movies and too many pictures
it caught my attention like a cloud
gathering water

Hi Heidi

These things are so stressful going in
and then something fantastic happens
in the tension and joy of the moment
and the presence of mind
knowing
it will soon be over

hey vero

what fun
to go wandering in your world
and you in mine

hi Suzin

I still can't get used to
the hole on the corner
can anyone

Hey Mary H

what do you think
viable marketing piece
found art
or forgotten friend

hi jeannie

Singing old school songs
howling like a wolf
and walking in beauty

Hi Michael

I hope you and Joe had a chance to get to the park tonight
cold and crisp
warm and sheltered
the transformation of space
within the city lights

Hey Chuck

Days sometimes begin and end
with task complete or left undone
and tomorrow comes into view
yet some days are marvelous wonders
with creation and laughter as a guide
and the day can only end when you are cold, wet and inspired.
