  • Sweet and so cold, sounds like my type of woman.

  • @yllekr123 ...thats what i was thinking when i was reading it....what is this ? a plum he is talking about...or some woman...

  • I read this poet long time ago. T'was a difficult reading.Your reading is great, as usual. I'd like to listen some Gregory Corso from you, if you know it and like it.Thanks for sharing.Paul.

  • @VNTPLA ...i will look into him...never heard of him

  • Never heard of him, but then he's never heard of me.

    Poems rarely heard

    nice to see.

  • @Toracube ...so many poets i have never heard of

  • Fine capture of a moment ...

    Thank you free for introducing me to William Carlos Williams poetry.

  • @jafuso61 ...hi jafuso...it was my first introduction to his work also

  • You gave me five minutes of calm silence by reading this, Mr. Freeman, Sir. You were finished and I was just sitting here thinking about how nice it would be to stop sometimes and admire the small wonders of life which we keep passing by without noticing them. Thank you.

  • @Zsolto66 ..yea zsolto...its important to slow down...i think

  • amazing how a poet can say so much, using so few words.

  • @sanjurodog ...aint it?....

  • Sister Carmalita say's,...

    " Nice reading Mr. Freeman... now go back to your seat."

    " Walter, you're up next, don't be shy... get up here. Now read your poem "

    Walter says,...

    "morning light in the mist of fresh cow pies, sweet silage hangs moist,... heavy in the air, the triangle sounds, bacon, eggs n' coffee,... I gotta' pee..."

    " Walter ! To the principle's office... NOW ! "

  • @profwaldo ...but sister ...i liked it as much as the other poem....you go with him then mr gresh we will have no body disagreeing.....or...your mother and father will know..and they are spending a lot of money to send you here....but before you both go... come here and let me pinch you hard..and pull your hair and slap you and jerk on your ear..and belittle both of you in front of all your peers.....and further damage you ..now dont you love poetry?

  • @freeman2545 Now,...Go in peace.

    Ahhh, my favorite. The 'ol, Lift you right up offa' the ground by your ear manuever.

    That was Ninja shit right there man, they had the strength of ten men !

    Not to mention they had god on their side, we were doomed...

  • Williams is a particular favorite of mine.

    so much depends

    upon

    a red wheel

    barrow

    glazed with rain

    water

    beside the white

    chickens.

  • @songblurred ...a couple real short ones...for sure...i never heard of the guy....i never heard of most poets...not sure why i like em.....but i do....

  • @freeman2545 News flash:  you are a poet yourself. Songwriter. Poet. Same thing.

  • @songblurred ...well...i think they are kinda different art forms....similiar in some ways....
