Why?…….Why Haven’t I Been Posting?

One of my innumerable fans was kind enough to inquire why I have not been writing here of late………The sad answer is……my creative juices have dried up! What was a veritable Niagra is now a muddy ditch, barely able to support a Cuban tree frog………..severe drought of the right brain is my self- diagnosis…………but hope springs eternal, I see a light at the end of the tunnel, (plenty of platitudes to fall back on in times of literary drought),,,,,,,,,,and truth to tell, I have been in the studio a time or two………playing around with assembling body parts (clay, wood, plastic) starting with a nice old empty wooden box……..finally realized i was constructing….. Barack Obama………..ouuhhh, this could lead to a whole series,,,,,, what’s inside these paragons of virtue who aspire to lead the rest of us willing sheep?……….Inside Barack, I’m not sure yet, but a good heart,some goats, a Hawaiin lai, a copy of the Harvard Law Review…………Inside Hilary Clinton, again, I’m not quite sure, but I am starting to get a better idea……….Inside John Edwards, a mirror and a comb…………..Inside Dennis Kucinich, that’s an easy one, a white dove of peace perched on a pure and radiant heart……….i’m not going near any Republicans, except of course, The Leader Of The Free World, George W. Bush, who could resist, certainly not me…….in the center, of the “George” box, a cold, black heart, surrounded by a bunch of dancing devils, dancing merrily to his favorite song, “Wake Up Little Susie” by the Everly Brothers…………

Oh, wait……..I guess those juices aren’t dried up after all……..i’ve turned into a real motormouth ………lotta words, signifying nothing, but i’m changing my focus here in any case……instead of a well constructed, quasi-intelligent entry……..it’s just going to be…….. Off The Top Of My Head ………or the top of someone else’s head……..

A quote from…….www.poetsagainstwar.com……..most of the poets have a list of literary credits……..this poet, G. Karl Marcus, describes himself, “I’m no one of any consequence, just a poor small voice, ashamed of my government and angered by my compatriot’s silence.”…………..Yeah. Me, too.
