A floor assistant, paramedic-like in kneeling aid, assails his heels with ill-fitting unforgiving brogues; till flustered florid face, and wrench of levered wrists, cartoons the moment when stage magician, slicing in two some supine body, boxed and paired to gasps of incredulity, dismembers legs and waist from perfect threads: ... more u668857 The Personal Space of U668857 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:34:51 GMT /section-449-the-personal-space-of-u668857#comments 6 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6032 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6032 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6032 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-3282-giving-the-beach-back-to-the-tourists https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-3282-giving-the-beach-back-to-the-tourists   Translucent moonlight slips from midnight skies, whitewashes my salty moist skin with splashes of light. Beads of warm sweat trickle, between winter white breasts, stirrings arouse my calm center, as we lie on a native bed of sand and shell. Tied loosely to moorings, far off fishing boats bobble and creak. The Atlantic murmurs; channel markers faintly chime under a spill of silver stars. Quivering beneath this elegant canopy, I reveal myself to bursts of dream light, letting my flesh rhyme with yours. The whimsical tide plays with the gulls; a westerly breeze swishes through sea oats and beach grass. Your fragrance lingers among temperamental pleasures, summon once calm waves to crest again and again. In the lavender-streaked dawn, we search the sand for tossed undergarments and washed up shells while beachgoers march towards the sea, stomping on the sunbleached boardwalk, smelling of sunscreen and last night’s margaritas. ... more Anne My Words, My Time: Poetry of Anna Blake Godbout Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:24:40 GMT /section-183-my-words-my-time-poetry-of-anna-blake-godbout#comments 4 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/3282 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/3282 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A3282 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6044-phallicies-and-phalse-hoods https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6044-phallicies-and-phalse-hoods Draft anstey Release the Hounds Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:24:40 GMT /section-29-release-the-hounds#comments 3 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6044 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6044 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6044 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6035-rather-cool-things https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6035-rather-cool-things Chatting, Private Messages, and Two COOL NEW PAGES! anstey Site News Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:24:40 GMT /section-11-site-news#comments 2 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6035 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6035 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6035 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6047-how-to-sell-your-work https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6047-how-to-sell-your-work It seems that everytime I crack some book on "how to sell/publish your book" (a misnomer if I ever, a book on how to sell a book...) it seems that the book thinks that you are Tom Clancy or at Least Hemmingway, where pubishing houses and other apparaticks will fall over trying to give you contracts. They seem to gloss over many things, like the true Editing process, or how to shine up your work to make it more... well, sellable. The one true thing I've found is what they want to see. They don't want the whole blaming thing, they want a portion. Title, synopsis (like what books got on the back cover, that's pretty standard) and the first 20-30 pages. ... more jerseydanielgibson Articles, Memoirs & Essays Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:26:24 GMT /section-272-articles-memoirs-essays#comments 8 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6047 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6047 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6047 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6037-a-problem-of-we-you-and-i-in-a-poem https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6037-a-problem-of-we-you-and-i-in-a-poem The problem of writing poetry is that when someone else reads it they insist in understanding it in their own way Pags Modern & Classic Poetic Discussion Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:21:20 GMT /section-115-modern-classic-poetic-discussion#comments 12 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6037 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6037 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6037 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6061-of-all-things https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6061-of-all-things "" -- Caelanwolf - griffey chriss - Shakespeare's Monkeys   Some days I cannot breathe. I cannot breathe without feeling a pain, a lump, a knot inside my lungs beneath my ribs near to my heart. There is a hole in my chest where my heart should reside but it lives there no more. That beating beast is clenched-tight within the fist of a man at war. I gave it up to him, in hopes that it would keep him company, find it's way into his dreams and keep the nightmares at bay. Shield him from bullets (as I'd gladly take them for him) and keep his thoughts in bright places more than dark. ... more caelanwolf Diary of a military wife Tue, 27 Nov 2007 05:59:49 GMT /section-470-diary-of-a-military-wife#comments 6 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6061 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6061 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6061 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6052-how-to-speak-like-a-soldier https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6052-how-to-speak-like-a-soldier You're walking down the street, and you see a young man, with practically no hair save for some fuzz on the top, athletic build, and crude by nature. He swears, he drinks, he womanizes, and he has no taste or refinement whatsoever. Chances are, you just ran into one of the many people serving in the United States Armed Forces. Soliers have thier own language. Even today, there are words that soldiers invented in WW 2, WW 1, and even the Civil War, in circulation in the English Language. Today is no different. There are many slang terms that a soldier uses, and none will appear in a Webster's Dictionary. Here's how to speak like a soldier. ... more jerseydanielgibson Welcome back, Jers...

As most of the western world prepares for Christmas, Hanakah, New years, Kwanza, etc., the Army diligently does its best to distract its soldier from the fact that they are in a thrid world country when such normally joyious times come. We're going to deploy a holiday to you! (Can't imagine Ol' Blue Eyes singing this one...) So holidays come and past, loved ones away, surrounded by scenery you'd rather not look at, a paunful reminder that you're "over there". No Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. No giant Christmas tree in NYC. No New Year's bash. Just a bunch of work to be done with no overtime whatsoever for working on a federal holiday. ... more jerseydanielgibson Welcome back, Jers...

Everybody (hopefully) knows that the DoD screws up paychecks now and again. On deployment there is an even higher chance of this happening.   But when it happens to you, it's always at the worst possible time. Tuition for school is due in two weeks, you have no food, the car needs major maintenance - you're counting on that extra income. Let's face it, that extra income, the deployment pay, is the only "good" thing about deployment. Not that it's enough compensation in the least, but at least it's something! ... more caelanwolf Diary of a military wife Mon, 19 Nov 2007 02:57:04 GMT /section-470-diary-of-a-military-wife#comments 1 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6038 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6038 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6038 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6033-what-do-you-mean-it-s-broken https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6033-what-do-you-mean-it-s-broken How to not take blame in the Army: Step 1: Did you break it?
