The Pin Age

We Write

Intro:
We have knocked lumps of smooth flint into pointy bits for arrow heads.
We have carved curves and slabs from demolished trees to create detached cave dwellings.
And soon after creating metal, we cast the dagger and formed the bullet shaped rocket.
We did well, but as each power bubble inflated its supreme power holder, others made more effective pins.

The Pin, by Grant

Equally global for needling cloth together…
Phat’n’ phunky and grouped into 8’s, 3’s, 24’s or ‘mores’ for the back-ends of electric wire connects…
Wrapped co-axially for unbelievable power communication cross cultures…
Bent in Spring to drive time pieces…
Soldered and Pumping multi-message…
Readying the Suburban Universe of Interactive TV Jockeys…
Putting an equal foot on your stairs for Tribal grit…
Totally Trashing the growth in forest devastation…
Aiding Fusion of the F1ip Resource…
Gripping bone to bone …. “how is that ankle?”
Holding back and holding in …
The pin,
the pin.

After thought

‘Pin’ is such a useful word and I found over 20 meanings. The one meaning those lexicographers forgot to include is PIN (as in PIN number) but even I forget that number AND forget where I made note of it. Hmmm, perhaps I remembered it and then swallowed the piece of paper with it on for total security Silly me!

Comments (off)

Irene Clasper – Hahaha…. you really seemed to have covered all Grant superb right did your job really well I really liked the way you put in that question to match the flow!!!

5 months ahead
10 months – in the middle, now.
This moment’s “Thank You” now arrives
Your comment everfresh
Each “ha” still echoes
In the page’s hall
Of thoughtful thoughts
To one, Grant, and beyond to all.
Lady Sapph – This was super quirky, inspiring, and completely immersing.  I love the specks of alliteration which gave it a nice flow and tied the whole piece together. Great job!.

GrantoftheHoBB – Thanks Lady Sapph. Those same words have been used for my illustrations. Maybe the World is trying to tell me something and maybe, just maybe, I’ll open the eyes of my ears and see what it hears.

I’m off to look at a few of your poems now … couldn’t resist!

Thanks again

Grant

Turnabout Ties

Turnabout Ties

As Faction and Docu-Soaps
Lather their bubbles
And the actor-avatars age arrives,
The virtual appeal of fictional spiel
Will at first all-envelop our eyes.
Once we see what is what,
And we tire of the plot
To consume all consumers free thought,
A new seismic youth
will dig deeper truth
And the old schools
Will get what they’re taught.

There’s always a need for change, so progress is made, but those charged with the job of crafting change often undergo something called ‘education’ which can slow progress if handled but those who fear change.

Words appear to be the culprit. We often cage words and by doing so, close the cage door on those reading them. It might be good to communicate through thought alone but for the moment, poetry comes to the rescue. In a poem, a poet often paints their thoughts rather than underlines them. I always hope to create such paintings using ‘paint’ that never dries.

Ryanwazhere – awesome
and no yet added spiel which is fantastically eminent
GrantoftheHoBB – Time will tell. There’s plenty of spiel waiting in the wings.
GrantoftheHoBB – Things are often bubbling so deep under the surface that they go unseen. But they rise slowly.
Ryanwazhere – well considering this too could be a filament it’s the risk that counts. maybe even Love or power or magic or evolution
