and i like YOU

Good Morning Chelsea, from Joni Mitchell


Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words
It came a-reeling up like christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drums

Oh, wont you stay
Well put on the day
And well wear it till the night comes

Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon

Oh, wont you stay
Well put on the day
Theres a sun show every second

Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passersby
And pigeons fly
And papers lie
Waiting to blow away

Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too
And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses
Oh, wont you stay
Well put on the day
And well talk in present tenses

When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls by night
By candlelight
By jewel-light
If only you will stay
Pretty baby, wont you
Wake up, its a chelsea morning

This makes me sick. Not your exceptionally well written poem, but the topic matter. I commend you for taking this horrific topic and bringing it to our attention. We humans have a tendency to look the other way. It's terrible.

<<grinning back and hugging all her friends that took the time to read this! I must admit I was SOooo excited!!!!! <<doing the happy feet dance>>>

Your place in embedded in your incredible talent and confidence darling. Get used to it. *smile*

And I always love seeing your lovely smile! How you be Kristi my lamb???

That is my way of saying Life is a garden filled with the flowers of friendship. That is my way of saying, Im not too proud to take a hand that is proferred to me. That is my way of saying if you want to learn I will help and you will help me. That's why we are here. to HELP and to LISTEN.

Now come ere you big ol KC thing you an give wizzie a hug.

They are with you in every word you write. They are immortal

I write because
I’ve got the need
To bleed and it’s oh
So messy
To mar and scar
Someone’s floor
Especially
When they’ve
Taken such pains
To keep it
Clean
Sterile
Undefiled
Pristine ….

And I’m
Such …
…a messy girl…

My mind constantly
In a whirl
A mental Hemophiliac
In an anemic world …
Bleeding out
Emotions
Sullied
Tainted
Septic
In a world
Overcome
With uncaring
Antiseptic
Thinking…

I write because
The look in my eyes
Would never disguise
The wounds
I hide behind
My words
Scattered
Behind me
Baited breath
Left as a
Lure for
The curious
To follow …

My own little
Trail of
Mystery …

I write because
I’m taking
My stand
My fist held high
Screaming
THIS is who I am
...THIS is who I’ve been
.....THIS is who and what
I want to be
So if you can’t
Take me
With all my
Tears
Fears
Smiles
And sorrows
Than

Don’t …
…take me…
……at all…

NOW
you know
Why I write …

MzEm,thank you lovely~

And you make me sad. Why dont you do a piece on your next bowl movement? How about baking cookies? Hey, did it sprinkle in your next of the woods? That can be an expect piece!

It's fairly pathetic when a woman such as yourself floods these forum with enormously poor work and tells everybody how tremendous talented she is. Good lord. How delusional. I cannog for the life of me wonder why on earh nobody has been kind enough or friend enough to you to tell you that this is never going to work for you.

Well, whatever it takes to get you thru your day <<pats Gossipgirl on her head placatingly>>

Maleah, you are in my thoughts...you and your little one...

She's right. They are random thoughts. They say absolutely nothing. They are as random as, "Hmmm, maybe I'll go for a run today" and then they're thrown out on the forum over and over and over, one random thought after another. You dont "write". You just verbalize your random thoughts. Maleah is right. If you actually sad down, didn't say a word for a few hours, gathered these random thoughts, you might actually have something to say. Think about it.
