Sharing Biscotti with Confucius

[Cate]

I had this below but I moved it up

MINUS 33

Tape me all my words and silent thought
stop me leaving and
bound to be distraught
shackled leg to shackled hand
freedom of movement lost
this is Freedom of Speech- the cost?

Stop me leaving and
you think you can tie a relationship together?
it's composed of sand
my going is when not whether
wave goodbye, shed a tear
exiled to the shed- you find me here

Bound to be distraught
just an act to make you repent-
you think I am the sort?
My feelings are on loan or lent,
only my insincerity is real
$5 an emotion is the deal


Shackled leg to shackled hand
chain mail sent en mass
turbation never banned
censorship is crass
fuck some sense
ory fice - tight and tense


Freedom of movement lost,
(popular reaction when dead)
body turned and tossed
res Erection from getting Head
transfer me to spirit from mind
gin and vodka cum from behind


This is Freedom of Speech - the cost?
Inflicted rudery.
Innocence lost,
abandoned prudery.
Eternal, fleeting, inconsequential, nought.
Disciplined sobriety? I ain't that sort.

Tape me all my words and silent thought

now there's a lady who knows how to use bite in a poem. I like it. The poem is kind of chaotic, emotions and sex, feeling of immobilized - even 'chain mail' has a feeling of aggression to it. (some nice double entendres btw)

~~~

I took me over an hour to understand the scheme (even now I'm still not sure). It took me a lot longer than 7 minutes to write mine...and I don't think I'll bother posting it...way out of my comfort zone with this one.

that's so cool that you did one too Karren, I hope that you post it!
I haven't tried it myself yet. I looked at it thought it looked like complicated dance steps but now having seen some examples of it I have to admit that it's an interesting form.

I can only pray you did not understand the accidental obscenity of

"chain mail sent en mass
turbation"

or


"fuck some sense
ory fice"-

[Karren B]

Well what can I say Sue? And you even went to the trouble of explaining it for me… I thought your first Trenta sei was excellent and the fact you wrote it in 7 minutes is amazing, and all this time I thought you were just a board, naked ironing fanatic. How wrong can one be!

Is there such a thing as accidental obscenity Sue, and did you think Cate and I wouldn’t have spotted them immediately?

I can’t believe you haven’t done one yet Cate…Stop eating Biscotti with Confucius and get your finger out!

[Karren B]

Ok this is my Trenta sei offering. Not my usual style but I’ll try anything once!
Would appreciate any form of constructive or even destructive criticism…

Voyeur Moon

The moon watches from behind a lonely cloud
struggling hard to get a better view.
A woman stands there naked, nipples proud,
beside an icy lake of cobalt blue.
Dripping its light into the lake below
the moon prepares itself to watch the show.

Struggling hard to get a better view;
voyeurism clearly on his mind
Just waiting for the cloud to let him through,
the lonely cloud repeatedly declined.
The moon hung still and patient in the sky
knowing that the cloud would soon comply.

A woman stands there naked, nipples proud,
vulnerable, voluptuous, unveiled.
Protected only by the lonely cloud;
the moons perpetual ardour he’d curtailed.
The cloud was going nowhere at this rate.
The moon could only hang around and wait.

Beside an icy lake of cobalt blue,
she bends to touch the water with her hand,
a gasp escapes her lips as she withdrew
from icy water far too cold to stand.
Despite the shock to system and to mind,
her body to the water she consigned.

Dripping its light into the lake below
he finally reveals himself to her,
tempting her to step into his glow
and dance with him till they are just a blur.
He shone his light onto her lithesome form
as she got herself ready to perform.

The moon prepares itself to watch the show.
He bathes her naked body with his light,
She moves her body sensually and slow
and dances with the moon all through the night.
They writhe together naked all night long,
but sadly in the morning he has gone!

Sharing Biscotti with Confucius

Fortune cookie message,
"It's hard to eat biscotti
with a ball gag in your mouth".
Did Confucius even eat biscotti,
and when did coffee shops
start selling fortunes?

You've a star on your palm,
love lines that braid
under your fingers.

I ask for my coffee black
go back for cream.

We talk about your wife,
we talk about your girlfriend.
I'm lucky not to have fallen
for you. You wonder why
I always want to see your palm,
I wonder why I keep looking
for myself in your hand.

Getting back to Confucius and his biscotti, I like that you think getting your coffee black could make you more interesting, but then having to admit you hate it like that… I actually do like my steak ‘blue’, but when I hear people asking for it that way, just to sound like they know what they’re talking about, I love to watch their faces when a piece of steak arrives on their plate that a good vet could resuscitate. It's amazing what we do to be different or impress!

The palm reading thing was very interesting

http://palmreading.chineseastrologyonli ... g-Love.htm

I found if you press your palm face down on the photo copier or scanner you can get a good image to look at in more depth, and the lines show up really well… I know we’ve all done the obvious but have to admit I have never used a copier to get a palm print before! After all that I have come to the conclusion that… I need to use more hand cream!

What would you have ask Confucius if you could have met him?

[Cate]

ahhh my post just got erased! I responded last night and I guess didn't press submit so pressed it now and bye bye post.

for Confucius I'd ask for some clarification around the golden rule of 'not doing to others, what you would not like yourself'

A blue steak - that... sounds interesting, not I'd want to eat it interesting but interesting. Do most people try to eat it, I'm thinking of blood oozing into their potatoes, or just confess that it's not for them and order a salad?
At my workplace we have an odd number of vegetarians who eat chicken <shoulder shrug>
