Surrealist Realist

My I’s are leaking soul
While my eyes miss
You’re strange distortion
I find peace is of us on the soil
And u read me like
What the H E double hockey sticks?!?!?
If only I let you c
You would look and book
Trust and know that my brand
Is tainted and I’m not talkin cockpit
Eye’m seein shit for real
You may c what you wish
Eye am stuck seein’ lucidity

WOW!!!

I love the way you use the brush strokes of Surrealist painters to turn them into words. "A painter can paint a bird in flight and it's a beautiful sight. But it's the poet that puts the wind in its wings so that it can soar to the mountain tops" Great job your are an artist with many levels! I am absolutely overwhelm by your ability. thanks, Eddie

Oh my Eddie!

that is beyond a compliment!!! If you like my 'painting with words' you should read 'Finding Eve' and 'Fresh Paint' they are far better than this my friend but thank you so much!!! <3 Emarie @~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@ "Tempted by your Tainted Love I sure do love the way you come inside my crystal ball..."

Wow love the Avatar art

What a great poem like a treat to discover I remember Carolee and I would share a typewriter and each would write a poem and just leave it in the machine in our apartment and in passing through the day would sit and read her works She is still a great poet I think but "finding" the poems like these delicious finds I like how you use your words to create a skillful collage fantastic!

So...

here I sit just minding my own business and writing moderate, at best, poetry and all of a sudden I am graced with awesome comments from, not one, but two of the best modern poets I know!!!!! Holy crap I'm gonna have to like sacrifice a lamb or something to the poetry Gods lol!!! Ok ok jk round of course but I truly am flattered that the both of you have taken the time to read and comment!!! It means the world to me! 8) <3 Emarie @~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@ "Tempted by your Tainted Love I sure do love the way you come inside my crystal ball..."

Funnily enough

the similarity between "I" and "eye" has long since struck me as obvious. I am glad to find out I am not the only one... Very artful, very artistical write, ID P.S. I wonder if you would like to take a peek at my "Reflection on the senses connected" (because of the "I"s)? I would be honoured.
