How are you creative?
How is it that you of all people are
Creative? You are straightforwardly
Stalwart, not at all a creative type
More typically, perhaps a historian
If only you had memory to support
Creativity is for the bohemian in our
Midst, the one prone to wearing big
Floppy hats and excess jewelry, the
One drawling sometimes incessantly
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.
Life's little positives
A smile, a caress, acts
Of thanks, and grace
The appreciative ones
They show they care
Their care is apparent
And transparent. All
Given freely and from
The heart wherein the
Positive resides and
Flourishes. It thrives
On energy exchanged
And willed, recognized
And shared like a meal
Or the bike only one
Of you owned, but
Both used as needed.
It's yours. It's mine.
Ours together as the
Need arises. We meet
It. Together. Positive.
What was the last thing you did for play or fun?
What is the river hiding?
What secret does the
Water hold deep or in
The shallows under the
Cover of rippling eddies?
Or gentle waves in the
Shallows though we
Know it runs deeper
Hiding its mysteries in
The shallow waters or
In the middle where it
Deepens as the river
Bed drops, its floor a
Concave of complex
Vegetation and mud
What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
Your moves are sleek
Your limbs are slim yet
Taut. Precision is a lot
To demand from one
Already on her toes. It
Is precious that you can
Maintain the ideal. The
Balance from head to
Toe, from outstretched
Arm through a perfect
Torso. You move as a
Definition of graceful
Through time, space
Through a universe of
Beats and rhythms, you
Are music personified.
What could you do less of?
Eating is disorderly for me
Or maybe just a disorder as
It is timely to say and hard
To acknowledge, but I know
True. Too true. I could do less
By being more mindful, also
Hip and of the minute. In this
Moment we look to practice
Mindfulness. In my past time
Not so long ago, I would want
To live in the moment. Truly
An excellent place to find my
Self being. In the here and oh
My, in the now. Now when I
Might find an order in food.
Here where I am attentive, in
Control of the fork, spoon, or
No utensil at all. Mind you I
Should watch what I eat and
Stay conscious of what I do
More of that and less of this.
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?
September its lovely autumn leaves.
October. November, let's give thanks.
Appreciation. December gets colder;
It's only warm in front of the fire with
Stockings hanging. January. February.
March, it's damp. April then May begin Flowering. June, July are hot but heat
Heats up in August as summer fades.
What’s the first impression you want to give people?
Smart and know-it-all are not
The same nor one-and, but I do
Mix and match them. To be on
The side of one or the other I do
Err in favor of smart-ass. The
Wiseguy isn't wise, I know it, but
Silly is a disarming pose I chose.
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?
Any fan would recognize them in
A minute, but why are the famous
Famous. For talent, I'm sure, they
Are good at what they do. That's
Why and where they got us fans
To fawn and pfumffer. Fame can
Flicker like the light of a candle in
The wind. You age and that talent
Is no longer in demand. But you,
You made your name. Any fan will
Remember you. You are recognized.
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).
Shoes can be a luxury item
Just ask SJP in her role as
Carrie. Name brands tend to
The expensive. Sometimes
Overpriced. In my opinion, at
Least. At best. I do like me a
Fancy shoe, bold but without
Nikki's 5-inch heel. I am all
About flats. Showy, yes, but
Close enough to the ground
To keep me grounded. Short
Though I am, I seek no height.
What podcasts are you listening to?
We who listen but cannot
Hear are legion. Interpret
Another's words to meld
To our thoughts. Like a sci-
Fi trick just low-fi not hi-
Fi. Fie on me for all this
Wordplay. It's your forum.
You get your say and say what
You wish. We hear you, headsets
Firmly fitted. We are earnest in
Following you, determined too
To learn what wisdom you offer.
It is generous of you to share.
Tamara, really
