Often called enigmatic by people who get to know me well.Wallace Fowlie (if you don't know who he is - do yourself a favor and look him up and scratch beyond the crappy commercial surface for something tastefully real) told me that I CANNOT NOT be a poet because the way I view life is poetry.Yet I'm by far not your typical poet - or person for that matter - I consider myself an organic human be-ing...... Just trying to do my best - true to my spirit and thankful & grateful for the guidance of those who walked here beore me in the light of pure energy of our existence - through this world filled with materialism and often dictated by status symbols.Best of the Roses, John www.mystrawhat.com$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ TAKE 88: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ TAKE:88$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$Take 248: "Fire" _ _ _ _ In a blazing brilliance fire was on the mountain Smoke chocked unwanted bees buzzing abound It reminded a viewer of his H.S. girl going down And running to a nearby bathroom to vomit a bit _ _ _ _ October 23, 2007 10:23 p.m.$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$Announcing release of latest e-book Everyday There's Something on mystrawhat.comIncludes: $ Final Top 50 Hottest Women of Everyday Media 2008 (These beautiful, dynamic, hot and engaging women are my personal favorites from 2007 going into the year of 2008.) $ Sent-in Poetry $ Sent-in Email Write-ins $ Selected Received E-mailsSpecial Thanks: Thanks to all of the major and local media outlets for putting-up with me and, in cases, for also engaging me as much as I try to engage you.
