Sharing My World



"Abstract Arches"

Out of a realm in some auriferous sky
beyond thoughts beckoning, impossibilities of my . . .
Made up animations . . . animating subsistence
Fluttering amid further, while furthering the distant distance

Here . . . hear how me my soul shivers, and a Spirit heir airs
An enhanced accent assenting to e’er
I unravel an unreal, unreeled by injection
like the feel feel insertions of serried perceptions

Exposing sees . . . the one’s never quite seized
I’m in another express
Addressing the undressed, baring bearing’s unsown
Going with the flow I’m all on my own!

For no one impression just daubs in the daub
The idea of it all paints paintings on walls!
With unseen colors . . . it lets me, I am!
I draw . . . I gleam, I’m set, set free on the lam!

A Vorse is a Vorse, even, of course will be coarse
Bristled with distinction
I followed the tracks in a stupor through cracks
Up aisles of isles of wiles and back!

With shoed feet in feat . . . my will spanned in knacks
I hung out on a limb to nick the abstract
This golden arcade that arched my existence
Appeared in a wight's rite, right of the essence

Braiding braids through my heart, in ribband exacts
Nee bending here where no sinner’s rove lacks
In aught, I just ought, and in wrest, I am resting
I wade for the wading, In sane, I’m abrading

I get caught in this seine
let lucid escape . . . rising up to that ghat that rases the bane
With a stoned quean of Queens, and a King that was thronged
Who reigns with reins, rapping wrappings of wrongs?

Babbling brooks of my breath, tempt my unmeaning’s so quenched
Thirsty at best, a swallow’s down nests . . . so Blessed!
So, sow real the far-reaching and dig out deep-seats of reasoning . . . leach from cering!
Wake up! . . . seams seem like their peeling!

Sing songs unstayed
Your schematic Creator 's way, weighs!
Representational truth lives life all aloof
abducted obtusely with no context in use

Come, walk with me in a Netherworld of the untamed
In an array . . . a ray, directing life force of day
Defining humanness under the surface of consciousness
insinuates no assailable boundaries in this world of incompetence

Stirring, stir the pot of our ingrained imaginations
In an aesthetic spawning stew for improver rations
Culminate now, with all your smears and yore splotches
Reach for apprizing . . . a mad organism watches!

. . . In my unpredictable
In the here. . . In you. . .
in our,

Abstract Arches. . .

A Rose, on the Third Day




I stand and wonder. . . Who you are?
Who is it, that stands
In the presence of my words
. . . in what I seem to interpret
My own particular surroundings?

Look, over there. . . on the other side of the lake, across. . .
Where reflections are left from overhanging shadings of a seasoned Willow
Gaze. . . up… Continue

Who's Frank?


Thank you Paul Williams for this beatuful image! Your eye inspires me!


Frank, open your heart!
Reflect over your watered self and look beneath the surface of
Another’s side . . .
For instance. . . across the lake . . . Do you see the forest there, hanging upside down?
And here, drifting on my surfac… Continue

All Together, Autumn


Photography by Tami Johns



It’s on these bright, beautiful days in Autumns’ prime. . .
When I red, yellow, and brown my way through leaving
Before she dies, all together

In the cold of it all?
Like a winding sheet, wrapped in palls, every last pigment will be raked. . . Uncolored.… Continue

Bring the Dogs In





BRING THE DOGS IN (...A STRING OF KIMMY KU's)

Dogs barking up trees
At squirrels' collectivism
The Nutcracker sees. . .

The bole fulls with claws
Not a nut, n't nutation
"Eat Crow or Be Cracked!"

Dais of dawgs gone done?
O' contrivance of clamor!
Ens to give a bone!

The finial stum?
How wildlife will… Continue

PINK YOU

Hey, thats a pretty cool new pic! Sorry I've not added much to the drumming room. I've been writing sooo much. LOL I have a couple of songs I want to play along to badly, though, and I will add them soon. I'm glad I figured out better quality settings. UGH. The quality was TERRIBLE. I'm trying to record in higher res now when it fits, and I switched to a stand up mic. The one in the webcam is utterly attrocious LOL

I will be checking out yer latest stuff again later tonite. I really have to comment on peoples stuff more. One of the reasons I came to CTI is because I was told they were good for comments here. One wants feedback, but I shouldn't be selfish and not give feedback to others!

Hey there. I will be checking out your stuff again soon, leaving some comments. How are you enjoying the drumming room? It really took off. I figured out a better setting for the mic, so the quality is better. I may be able to get the video quality up, too. We shall see.

Hi Kimmy:

Thank you so much for the lovely note on my page!

I've been away in Mexico for a long overdue holiday with my husband and it was such a lovely surprise to come back to emails and messages from my friends at CTI, and an honor to be selected to stand in the Spotlight.

Does my tan show? hehe

Thanks again!

P.S. I have no idea where Beldune River is...hehe...I am originally from BC, but Edmonton has been very good to me.

Beauty is in the eye of the poet
The poet is the eye of beauty
Poetry can be words or a touch
this lady touches with the grace of a poets pen
as she uses sand as her ink.

Thanks for the comment on my page. And yes, I'm in Edmonton--land of cold winters and snow. hehe The great thing is we usually have great summers, fairly hot and tons of sunshine all year round.

And of course, we also have West Edmonton Mall, the world's largest mall to date.

I love it here. I've lived all over Canada, but Edmonton we made our home.

Well, I have to go and brush my hair and make myself a little bit more presentable. I'm off to Starbucks tgo write. YAY!

Have a great week!
Cheryl

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES




1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
