Once in a while

societal riches saturated in the minds of the young beginners
once in a while
they seep into a distinct brief cul de sac that is less amusing
once in a while
children and filters blow up the back doors of their minds
once in a while
that sustain some integrity even during lightning storms
once in a while
but a las’ we find a little old woman that isn’t bitter
once in a while
as the trenches open and the wounded heal and life remarks
once in a while (rinse and repeat)

Hey Jen =] @18percentgrey here. That resonated. Going to read more of your blog now. =]

Have you seen mine by any chance? I write poetry as well, and have a backlog of ‘writers stuff’ that’s just not come out recently, however the moleskine’s getting a hole burnt in it by the political stuff I’ve been writing in there. *chortle* I suppose now is the time to start transcribing that. Feel compelled.

— Hi J–

this poem is terrific

i love how when i read it my eyes flow
to the rhythm of its design
like waves and current

We had fun over the weekend -w/ your peeps
@TechBabe
@TheUserGroup

I never would have guessed I find a poem
like this by using twitter.

your poem feels like brainwashing en masse.

Hmm.. could go on forever about poetry.
You get my vote this. This I should put as my blog-find Pick of the weekend

Would you go to Grad School – MFA Poetry?

I hope so:’ Keep me in the knows.

Nose,
Sonja 🙂
ps- wordie.com or .org – is like flickr for words I put strange poems into that – really slows down mind when you can press enter to structure your phrasing… also fun to do when incredibly tired before bed — or before you nod off. I’ll send you a link. it’s werd.

Ciao Guapa!
