Poetic Conversations

[Underground River]

What's has happened to the conversation
Are all of you in hibernation?
Let's all come out and write a line
Of awen's poetry so good and fine
Let's write of earth and air
Of Water and fire and sun so fair
Let us share more magic words
That feel like soaring of many birds
Let us practice verse and rhyme
Let us do this all the time
We are bards, me and you
So let us do what all bards do!
Phoenix

[FallingLeaves]

What all bards do?
Thats quite a few
We sing and dance
and make a brew!

We sup our beer
and sing of cheer
and then the poems
There quite a few

But do not worry
Its Awens way
to sometimes sleep
and sometimes play

All is well
its meant to be
the seasons change
the Mystery

[Underground River]

Thank you, friend
Good SummerBlooms
For the reminder
That awen
Sometimes takes
A break
Then she or he or it
Flows
Once more
And the poems
Write themselves.
Phoenix

[EarthWard]

I see Awen as a great big fish
A salmon if you wish
But being from the south
I like the Bass with the big mouth
Anyway I wait all day
Drinking sleeping the day away
Then I feel the line tighten
At first it can be a frighten
It pulls and tugs
Scaring the crows and bugs
You fight with all your might
To lift the fish to sight
And just when it is at the surface
It stops and looks at you with purpose
Showing you how big it is
But letting you know the worm is his
He breaks the line and swims free
Leaving you on bended knee
But that is how the Awen goes
At least you're where the river flows

[Underground River]

Interesting thought those are
Of how awen must be caught
As a fish
And sometimes awen is
Stronger than you
Is that what you were saying?
Or am I reading it
Wrong
As I do sometimes?
Phoenix

[EarthWard]

Sometimes you eat fish
Sometimes you don't
Sometimes you catch the big one
Sometimes you won't
But the object of the game
For us its all the same
Keep on fishin'
And one day you'll get what your wishin'
Awen

[nearly_all_gone]

As a vegetarian, no fish
Shall dangle from my line

No worm upon my hook is caught
And fish keep leaping by

But just because I cannot bring
The gleaming silver catch

Still dip my toes in streams sometimes
Just for the little splash

[Lizzy]

A vegaterian I am not
Though I could not catch a fish
To plant a hook in its mouth
Without a single thought
Is something I do not wish

First day without taking pills
Damn this bloody cold
Just want to go outside, into the hills
And hear stories once more told

But the weekend is near
And this is a good thing
Freedom is nearby
As I fly up into the sky
Where my heart shall sing

So I wish you all a good weekend
And lots of free time to spend
With the ones you love
It certainly is what I will do
And what I will be thinking of.

[FallingLeaves]

There will be a bacon butty for me
and chicken curry for tea!

There will be coffee, beer and wine
and Ill have a jolly good time!

Although I work on Saturday
On Sunday I shall play!

[Blade]

the phoenix fire, the highest flyer
the newest rimer, to grace this rime
to sing with time, to slide some lines
i gotta say i love your rhymes

[Blade]

oh let us rime, oh let us rime
oh let us rime through out time
oh let us see the grand design
for it is kept with in rime

[Blade]

for rime is time
and time is rime
so let us rime
to pass the time

[Blade]

big rime big rime
bit mixed this time
bit fixed bit faxed
bit fiction bit fact
bit this bit that

one second that aint that
why does the bat fly like that
why does the cat chase that rat
why does the grass grow like that
why does he speak like that
why does he think like that
why does he act like that
because my friends thats a fact

this be fast this be best
this be beast this be least
this be last this be past
this be vast this be that

[wolfsong]

Inspired am I
by your rhymes,
and by the spring-like air
that has suddenly come,
as promised,
tickling my nose
and making my brain
not want to work

but at least this week is spring break

So I can drink my mead
(no beer for me)
and enjoy the sun
and write many more lines.

[Ima]

Awen... What would it be
Something to set us all free

To let out the deepest feeling
Layer for layer we are peeling

Away our outer skin
To uncover all within



Strange to write a poem and let the 'whole world' read it
For sharing this, my thoughts, I hardly ever did

[Underground River]

A very good description of awen
You have written, my friend
All thoughts and feelings matter here
So please do not fear
Nobody will laugh at you
Because that's not something that we do
So please, please, please
Be at ease!

[Shamattick]

i feel that you see
i see what you feel
i know that you see
i see what you know

Ima you flow
Ima you grow
Ima you know

[Ruthie]

Awen like a river flows
perhaps there be fish here

Awen like a warm breeze blows
to dry up every tear

Awen like a firestorm grows
slicing open our fear

Awen like the soft loam knows
the small worm's wish most dear

[Underground River]

Beautiful, wise MoonCloud
Your poetry makes us other bards prowd
GD

[Ima]

Words o so true
Makes my heart turn red
Or very blue

Words o so loud
Or whispered silently
But without doubt

Words are strong
They are our power
Short or ... Long
