I draw you around me. I sit within your chalky white ring As your numbness is my allowance For emotions that are thoroughly spent.   My alleviation, from crushing thoughts That trouble me in this crumbling sleep. But you will be diminished and washed away With the tide of time And so, I watch for them….. ... more hecountsmytears Poetry Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:22:09 GMT /section-623-poetry#comments 1 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/9153 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/9153 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A9153 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9109-half-life https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9109-half-life ~for the haunted~ rws The imPersonal Space of rws Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:27:55 GMT /section-416-the-impersonal-space-of-rws#comments 1 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/9109 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/9109 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A9109 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9224-the-chocolate-villanelle https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9224-the-chocolate-villanelle   Cacao yields the perfect spark for poets smothered head to toe in decadence so rich and dark. A biscuit might seem bland and stark, prosaic, but the masters know: cacao yields the perfect spark. No errant crumb, no chance remark will lose its way, now covered so in decadence so rich and dark. We know the truth, this poets’ lark demands indulgence; apropos, cacao yields the perfect spark. The wait is long to make your mark, but research (still to come) will show cacao yields the perfect spark, in decadence so rich and dark. ... more leanne A Slap on the Wrist Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:19:05 GMT /section-659-a-slap-on-the-wrist#comments 14 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/9224 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/9224 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A9224 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9120-kaolin-baths https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-9120-kaolin-baths Revision 9/7/08 No longer green, today the jade spreads faded suppositions through a future mewling extra cream in streams that once knew lemonade.

He seeks, he seeds, he smooths his way; decay is dancing on his string, a tincture bleeding salt and oil to spoil the surface of the clay.

Both sides of the fold in a crease of pewter moon light against black fir and mountain spine, the grizzly drew me in to a dance of course matted hair against man-flesh. A slender delicate lady slipper dream and cold salmon blood mingled on the wisps of we.

I’d like to incorporate the “Hokey Pokey” into a children’s book I’m revising.  I would change it to the “Petunia Pokey” and change a few lines here and there.  I’ve researched it a little and found this:   The Hokey Cokey or Hokey Pokey is a participation dance with a .... is regarded as a traditional song and is therefore free of copyright restrictions I was wondering if anyone knows anything about copyright and permission.
