conception


that vowel
is a chip off the old writers block
that consonant
in union with the other
a marriage of letters
leads to children of words
to a generation of lines
to a poem for all time...

Got this impression of us all jumping into a large Vat of words, grabbing vowels and consonants, hoping they all join together in something pleasing to the reader.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

The way letters and words work together

is to be admired
The artistic side of literature

OM--these sounds become our world. So many conversations and musings, like the chirping of crickets.

"As the crickets' soft autumn hum
is to us
so are we to the trees
as are they
to the rocks and the hills." --Gary Snyder

[jacob erin-cilberto]

love those lines...Gary Snyder is one of my favorite Beat Poets...

thank you, Chris.

I enjoyed this write. There is a wit about this I just love. I am not going to lie. I have read many of your poems, but I have a hard time enjoying them. That is just me. I am one idiot and your writing personality just doesn't click with me. I guess we are all different. I fully respect you though. Great write and thanks for sharing.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and i respect that certain poets aren't everybody's taste...but i do appreciate your kind words on this piece, Shy Joe.

thank you

aaahh congrats Jacob, a natural poem birth and a proud father... mother doing fine and the poem is screaming to be feed... welcome to those 3am feedings Jacob and vowel changings... and I hear you have more on the way... ;0) we of course will love you but I think your poetic muse may be hating you some about now... its hormones, she will love you in a few days, hell maybe sooner...

poetry loves you Jacob and we are right behind...
