Hi Geoffrey,

I thought perhaps you might not see my attempt to complete your verse in your earlier thread, amongst all it's neighbouring posts. There are so many busy threads here in Leonardo's Underground lately that at times I am reminded of a bustling jam session where all the musicians are playing lively sets of tunes in all kinds of styles and keys whilst someone chatters through it all....

life is like a butterfly
trapped in the sky
no exit can be truly found
until it falls to a rotting mound

I left comment regarding life and death in your original thread and now enclose a photographic explanation of my views on the positive and negative aspects of death. I believe it is all a matter of individual persepective.

Kind regards
Juan

yes, i saw this. it was very poignantly finished, and i am much obliged, juan. you have a wonderfully creative mind. thank you.

I think that Geoffrey's a good sport,
we should add on other for Geoffrey items.

for Geoffrey, a list poem

- Purple and blue wild flowers discovered growing
. . . . at a reclaimed landfill
- 2 clothespins – the old fashioned kind
- a black and white French postcard
. . . . of Cleopatra – hide that one from the kids
- some catnip
- brown dress shoes
- beat up sandals
- a list of random forum members passwords
- the corner piece of Birthday cake found at the end of a long and dangerous winding road
- a pair of pink silk…
. .… what? I didn't
. . . . …. Violet can you explain these!?
- chips – crispy outside, soft inside
- a flat chested redhead with freckles
Plus
- a soft kiss to your cheek

it is, it is and it's a great one so far, although I'm still wondering where the bees have gotten to...

I'd say you have something of a crush on Geoffrey yourself

Yep for sure, but of a friendly/Uncley variety – the I’d like to sit close to you and eat chips while we tell silly stories laughing ourselves silly variety, as opposed to the I want to say pervey things to you variety (shhhhhh re the pervey thing btw - I think he thinks I’m nice). I also have a writing style crush going on too – I love his stories and random thinking pieces. I just listed G images that came to mind mostly from stuff he’s written – the wild flowers were from a long ago post in the politics section hence that’s why 'landfill' - I’m not sure why they were purple and blue that’s just what they looked like in my head - I like purple and blue.

No secret code, but that’s a good idea – I always think that sort of thing is fun.
It kind of bugs me that when you type everything has to be in straight lines and all the letters the same height – it’s a bit sterile. I’m not a word person, I’m visual images in my head person, so if I’m hand printing something, some words or letters will be bigger then other or darker/lighter or spaced apart or have a scratchy picture beside it, but if you transcribe onto here it's all uniform.
