Perhaps but maybe not missed.<br />I was somebody once who had fervently kissed<br />A warm willing mouth with moist luscious lips.<br /><br />You may say, as I fade out of sight,<br />“Was someone here recently, maybe last night?<br />We can’t quite remember his bulk or his height<br />Or whether his hair was black, brown or white.,<br />But we seem to recall that he duly performed<br />All we expected so he could conform<br />To his place in the world without ever transforming<br />It however slight.”<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808227584959676379.post-3810379852926726832013-12-13T00:12:23.583-05:002013-12-13T00:12:23.583-05:00I emailed Bill to try to get him to post, but he e...I emailed Bill to try to get him to post, but he emailed me back, so I'll post for him…sort of. These are famous, but famous because they were done in Jr High. As Bill says of the Physics of Shapes, he doesn't really remember so he just made one up in a minute. My memory is different so I'm editing his submission. But the point, that Bill's modesty doesn't permit, was the idea, like Peter's classic "Bang" tapestry. Everyone in Jr High writes poetry about feelings, Bill takes a different path.<br /><br /><br />Physics of Shapes<br /><br />When watched hoops go<br />They roll so slow.<br /><br />When disks go passed<br />They're pretty fast.<br /><br />When spheres go by<br />They fly.<br /><br /><br />The World<br /><br />The World<br />is hurled<br />Through so much space<br />At such a pace,<br />That earth,<br />Whose birth<br />Was long ago<br />And oh so slow,<br />is old<br />And cold.<br />James Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871338738388893364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808227584959676379.post-60069692783225601952013-12-10T00:14:40.074-05:002013-12-10T00:14:40.074-05:00Yes, unless there is some hardship involved.Yes, unless there is some hardship involved.James Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871338738388893364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808227584959676379.post-70263281751706949022013-12-09T23:08:27.349-05:002013-12-09T23:08:27.349-05:00Do we have to wait until Sunday?Do we have to wait until Sunday?Big Mykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488250533536442903noreply@blogger.com
