Ah, the torment !
Am I to respond, to retort ?
I yelled for my pen was pent,
Perhaps here's an answer, albeit short,

You called for the unseen ears,
Quiet, I longed for the leading feathers,
Perhaps without even knowing,
And yet, here I am, once again writing,

I fear I may carry some rust,
But since the cause is noble,
May we once more shake this dust,
And with words rebuild atop this poetic rubble.
=====================================

Tonight ,all your poems are in my sight,
Talks about things with sense and wisdoms with a might.
May all those sentiments and wishes will fly as kite,
that can reach anywhere in height.

You put beam on my face ,
and make my heart in chase.
I'm glad to read these poems you graced,
It will forever in my memories that can't be erased.

Continue creating poems , is my today's wish
It's like a tasty smelling dish
Feeding up my hungry mind with this.
I'm waving now with a virtual hug and kiss
======================================

Words rebuilt this poetic rubble?
Fear not there is not trouble,
As the words keep coming for all the day,
And enter this intriguing foray.

You never know there might be other's,
That come, that join with words they'd smother.
It's great to see this thread alive,
With wit and humor to make us strive!

Strive for yet another day,
This is how we make our way.
Throught this land, this forrest clear,
Lots of people that wish to hear.

Now to CJ with her kind words,
That compairs things to some tasty herbs,
I am sure the others would both agree,
We send those viruals back to thee.

Acknowledged hereby is your invite.
Let's remember the fallen in respite.
Many great odes will now be written,
Uncovered will be that what is hidden.

Only the fearless may proceed,
Brave ones, foolish ones, will pay the deed.
Do not walk the middle road,
And jumped over was another moat.

The poesy here is such a delight.
Kindly turn on that lantern light?
The castle walls get all so bright!
We venture forth, into the night.

We're in awe, everythings decayed!
The construct from before all flayed.
This task became a duty of ours.
To annew this place for endless hours.

To annew this place for hours,
That sound much better than sour,
For the many see, but act as blinde!
and don't wish to partake this sort of bind.

For those that see, and not partake,
It is you whom we forsake!.
Just this fun topic to do,
Should have some thing for you.

On this Friday of all the days,
We seek to find our better ways.
to hear, to rhyme and create a verse,
Is there anything worse?

Come join and a rejoice with us,
This plethara from the abyss.
Lines of many, verse of few,
I wander if, what, where and who?

This be the place to make no sense,
The community of many hence!
We are here, heard from miles apart,
The ones who have the heart of heart.

Such a shame more don't reply,
To this topic, this legend, this this poetic time!
But we are the ones to keep it alive,
The few, the lonely, the ones that survive.

He had won?
With the People gone?
But alas! Something shone!
Who is that girl, all a-lone?

Coming closer, walking quite strange...
Is that really a human behaving estranged?
Her body seems very fragile.
Yet strutting so elegantly and agile.

Smiling so eerie.
Who is this weirdy?
Knife in her hands.
Before you she stands.

"Greetings! I am Kara."
"Thank You! For the laughter."
"Your poems brought a joy to my heart."
"I will kindly give you one too as reward."

I will kindly gie you one too as reward
Why thank you ms for I wull surely horde,
For I am glad to see you have enjoyed,
These lyrics, the rthymes, from far and wide.

I bid you welcome to this game,
Of words than bring no shame,
Enjoy the battle as it still unfolds,
For @cjko brings fun that never gets old!

So bring your words, no fer of the dark,
Come on in, step up to the mark,
If we are lucky others will arrive,
With more words, with passion and drive.

@cjko Payday

@cjko said in What is the last book you read and enjoyed?:

@DayShifter WOW.. interesting. Any chunks of quotes from that book ?

So begins the first letter that falls into Wang’s lap as he flips down the visor in his taxi.
The letters that follow are filled with the stories of Wang’s previous lives—from escaping a marriage to a spirit bride, to being a slave on the run from Genghis Khan, to living as a fisherman during the Opium Wars, and being a teenager on the Red Guard during the cultural revolution—bound to his mysterious “soulmate,” spanning one thousand years of betrayal and intrigue.

As the letters continue to appear seemingly out of thin air, Wang becomes convinced that someone is watching him—someone who claims to have known him for over one thousand years. And with each letter, Wang feels the watcher growing closer and closer…

Seamlessly weaving Chinese folklore, history, and literary classics. The Incarnations is a taut and gripping novel that sheds light on the cyclical nature of history as it hints that the past is never truly settled.

@Indrid-Cold Hows about stay off the pavment
As a pedestrian, especially at night .....cyclists come out of nowhere, scare the crap out of you and vanish.
I get the road thing, but the thing is .... they Are still road users which happen to have the same rights as the motor drivers. I mean hek.... they een have their own parts of the road and the pavments to cycle, but many still persist on using the pavment for the walkers
