[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Please contribute! I'm getting tons of hits and you will be seen!

(I haven't really pushed the site though DU, but I'm getting tons of word of mouth (over 500 a day) since I put it up.

Thanks!

1. If you could spell 'poets', you might have more purchase.

They say we come from the water
To run thru the trees

They say that all men are brothers
But as different as the Seasons

And you can pin wings to my shoulders
And pretend that I could fly
If your legs are strong enough for two

I think I'll walk with you a while..

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. LOL! Oh, Jesus!...

Thanks for that...

I'm listening to Rummy on CSpan at the moment...

4. Hey! That was the start of an OK poem thing.

Some let the sand slip thru their fingers

Some throw it to the wind

Some let the mystery linger

And some bring it to an end

You can pin wings to my shoulders

And pretend that I can fly

If your wings are strong enough for two

I think I'll fly with you a while.

[TomInTib]

5. Third stanza

I'll understand if you can't see me

I'll understand if you can't stay

But if somehow I

could catch your eye, Babe,

please don't turn away.

You could pin wings to my shoulders

and pretend that I could fly

But if your heart is strong enough for two,

I think I'll stay with you a while.


I wrote that thing for a wonderful young man who was taken out at the age of fourteen by that mean ol' muscular dystrophy.

Here's to you, Fearless Leader.

Joshua Wood.

Rock on, buddy,

Tom

10. Tom, are you looking for exclusively political writing?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Which mens most intelligent writing. :)

[EFerrari]

17. A little suggestion

Have the titles of prose/poems/essays/etc with a link to them, front page seems to run long and hard to tell where one ends and other begins.

Overall though, still like it and will send some more stuff your way soon!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

18. Thanks. A good suggestion.

I'm thinking leaving the FP long for first timers and adding the newest to the top and then offering links to more on the left sidebar?

I really appreciate the input. this is a solo project and I'm flying kinda blind as I've only done commercial websites before.
