Hi there! This is a place where I'll post some poetry every now and again (and, by the way, this was an awesome idea Daykurfin). It tends to be "hippie" sort of poetry, but it can be alright if you feel up to that groovy nature scene. My journal holds most of what I post, poetry I mean. Feel free to comment in my journal and/or here, if you so wish.

Yay! First post for me! Lets see now... heres one from earlier today:

The autumn wind
it shifted subtly
the leaves blew by
prompted by it so
hopping along
like an orange waltz
the air is clear
more so than before
it's a nice time
this day in autumn

Yeah, it's okay, I guess. It was a real quick thing I jotted down before class, so what do you expect?

...(and, by the way, this was an awesome idea Daykurfin)...


What idea exactly?

P.S. About the poll, I don't exactly live in the country so much, but in West Virginia there isn't much city. It's more country than city still even though it's more city than a good bit of the state.

sub forums were the "good idea" I guess... I don't know. sweatdrop

And from what I have heared of West Virginia it's nice this time of year. I have little idea what it's like on the east coast, though. I live in California, so everyone thinks I live on the coast. I don't. I'm nearer to Nevada than Los Angeles honestly, so the ocean is a bit of a drive for me. gonk I live with the view in my sig whee

Yeah it is nice because of the leaves turning on all the many hills and valleys. At least normally. We seem to be getting one of the odd premature snows right now though. Normally we get surprised by a brief storm in April maybe but I think this is one of the first times I've seen it in October.

Yeah, that picture looks about like what Nevada and some of those other rectangle states that I have trouble keeping track of in that area looked like when I was out that way for vacation. What bothered me there was the dry heat. That and the same straight road and same view. I need my mountains and curves. However, that is a nice mountain in the background.

Yes, the dry heat takes some getting used to, but I was raised in it for a good chunk of my life. I'm near Death Valley, the hottest place in the U.S. It gets rough when you have to do hard labor in 115 degree heat. gonk we rarely get a lot of snow here, but lately it's been raining a bit. Pretty chilly lately, 63 degrees in the morning.

Try about 33 in the morning here. And it's not like a desert here where it starts out cold in the morning and gets a lot hotter. It only gets about maybe 10 or 15 degrees warmer if that.

Yeah, I'm glad about that. I remember living in the Sierras and let me tell you what! snow on the ground for months at a time. That is one thing I don't miss about the cold. whee

Hey! Go post a poem!


'kay, here I go:

The moon
shining cold
making the desert
seem gray
and lifeless
in a cryptic way
the wind
blowing hard
sand in my poor eyes
my body
dragging on
like leaves in the wind

I don't know, it seems to be the mood in this town since last week. I threw it together kind of quick, but I think it flows pretty easy. whatcha think?

't's all good, 't's all good. Or at least, I don't know, if it's good or not, because no one else ever posts, and my decision has no contrary, like the judgement of Rosaline. Romeo and Juliet. Literary reference.
