World or stars

I just hope she did so on her knees! I enjoyed your philosophical thoughtflow here. Maybe we´re all writing because we never cease wanting something or other? Keep reaching for the stars, ID

Now there's an aypical write for you! I love the philosophical points you bring up in this piece. Well done, good food for thought. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "Does Rudolph fail the safety inspection if his nose is burnt out? And where does he go?

Yes it is a different view and I feel the same nice wonderful beautiful write here

dalai lama ordering a hamburger. clever. says several things at once.

nice job on this one, i love the first stanza thanks for sharing Washington Fear

sense of calm and ease you display here--i find it ironic that even the Dalai Lama ordering a hamburger seems like an act of Buddhistic indifference. also a sense of the desire for absolute satiation on a cosmic level--i have that frequently! not to be me in this mortal coil. awesome.

Like we aren't going to make it in time? Like that hurricane never hits hard enough, fast enough? Like we were never destined to even scratch the surface of our Earth? Like we shouldn't even be here? Oh! I liked your poem, too. It's got one of those moods that everyone has. Me, I have that mood quite frequently. We try and reach so far.

Love the whole concept Yea I'am a Trekie or star track fan would of love to party with ole Gene he must of had some really good drugs to dream up all that he has we have the technology we should rebuild him oh six million dollar man got off track there I hope they get the Mars mission up and running know that that have found water on it I think we should be on the moon all ready if we aren't hint little grey men wear black suits and Elvis aint dead he just went home Lol the star what a dream

you twisted guy making him a meat eatter

a nothing poem nice words. Sais noting. If you gave real serious back to others your portry might be seeing seriouosly. You are self indulgent.Selfish, ungenerous. cheers, Jess Patty

I have been following the whole 2012 doom sayers, they are just as bold as the 2000 fanatics. Mass Hysteria.. the race to Mars.. (wait a minute..hasn't NASA agreed they they have been spinning their wheels), Private Space Stations are being built. Lauch Pads in Outer Space the potential for mineral resources.. I say If by 2200 we are not colonizing the moon, it will be because we are clinging to survive on a depleted earth. To the Stars, you make a good case here for reaching to the New Frontier. Rather then "What-If'in" the worst case scenario every 75 years. In Ink, Dabbler

that gets me about '12 is that both the Mayans and the Chinese predicted the exact same date, presumably thousands of years before the east and west were integrated... as long as you ignore the (often overlooked fact) that there were caucasian mummies dating to 10,000 years ago found in China, and rumors of Chinese explorers to the west coast of America dating 200 years before Columbus bumbled his way to the West Indies.

This is nice, very introspective, and yet cynical, almost bitter. It catches the attention. Thanks, Brian

I think the ants will still be here when we humans have long gone, the insects anyway, they are the best at adapting.I too liked the DL eating hamburgers. Just now the stars are coming down to me as its snowing those most beautiful crystals, every one different from the other, smoothing all we see into curves and strange shapes, yes I am already in the stars.

i love this! not exactly sure why, but that doesn't matter. complete comprehension isn't a precursor to enjoyment. it has a few layers to it... a philosophical edge a cynical edge a hopeful undercurrent (i think) perhaps because those things mesh together, is why i like this so much i also like the structure it sort of tumbles down the page, and takes the reader along for the ride this is one of those writes that just grow on you with each read... a little something more continues to be revealed cheers p
