Large green hands, the palms,
an archway for the restless,
soon lie on the ground, browned.

My browned skin in this dream light
is gold; I, the Dream Midas.

Death and moonshine, life
beneath and beyond--tell me:
why should this tale cease?

Why should the moon not reason?
Why should death not be our end?

Thanks much for these kind

Thanks much for these kind words.

i really love the way you

i really love the way you simplify what you are saying, yet still don't cut it short... my problem is i always end up rambling on.. and when i try to edit and shorten things, it always ends up just sounding like a bunch of unfinished sentences.

also, the way you speak in your poetry it lovely. very few modern poets can pull it off without sounding foolish, or like they are trying too hard.

kudos.

I did that once

I wrote a screenplay once. I tried to get my high school to produce it, but supposedly the subjects suicide, drugs, and sex are too racy for a high school production... Seems like it would be all too appropriate to me :o)

Oh, good going with those

Oh, good going with those essays, then. I wouldn't post them here; I'd save them for your Dis Ltd. deal.

I'm dabbling. Working on a screenplay, too. Keep telling myself: "Just 4 pages a day, and you'll have a feature-length script in one month..."

Yeah, I keep telling myself that.

Work awaits.

I'm working on getting some

I'm working on getting some essays (that I haven't posted here yet) published by Disinformation Ltd. Otherwise, I've only been published in TeenInk, which is a creative writing magazine for high school students. I was published in that back in high school.

Why, thank ya, buddy. Yes

Why, thank ya, buddy. Yes and no: it is here and there, but nothing substantial. I'm working on that. How 'bout you?

Are you published?

Is your poetry published? I'm not usually a fan of much poetry (save erotic poetry) but yours is rather appealing to me. In fact, I like it a lot... Beautiful imagery, particularly suitable allusions, etc. Great work.
