The cold wind whistles across the plains
Driving the gritty grains of snow into my skin
Whipping my braids into a frenzy
Pulling at my deer skin leggings
Pushing at my buffalo hide parka
And still I stand
Waiting
For the sun to rise
To begin my call
It begins as a whisper
As I call to the buffalo
Come my spirit brothers
Heed to my call my spirit sisters
Softly singing my spirit song
To be carried away with the wind
I hold my spear
Tightly gripped in my hand
Feathers dancing upon the wind
The ground starts to tremble
I can feel it through my moccasins
The thunder moves up my legs
Through my woman place
Entwining its way through my belly
Pounding and quaking in my heart
Singing my spirit song loudly now
I hunt not for you this day
I drop to my knees
A wail escapes my lips
Take me with you I cry out
Buffalo surge around me
Leaving a path around me
And I sing my spirit song

I still enjoy coming on once in a while and reading your writings
Jen...you're very talented. Thanks for the share.

spirit sisters,
spirit brothers,
listen to our Spirit Mother
oh hear her lonely cry,
as lone wolf howls his lonesome try,
and dreamers fly through a moonlit sky,
fly your arrows true and high,
finding marks of days gone by,
Bison have all passed us by,
leaving us to wonder why,
as th last one wanders by,
seeing tears of mother's eye,
within th years of lovers high,
never knowing why we die,
forever caring,just to try,
living in our sunset sky,
living for those Days Gone By.........Lonely Soul

I've asked you before not to tag my stuff, please refrain from doing so

You just keep getting better Poet. What else can I say.

Agree with you there Jen, what's up with that anyways? This write of
yours stands apart anyhow and has a great "vibe"

J

Thanks Jaime, I don't get it either, when asked not to tagg people
should honor that, it shows respect.

got lost in th' moment...
it's all your fault for writing such a moving story...

but I do apoligize for this tag if you found me inappropriate.

this was not done for me...
But to show honor to the poem and the poet...

sorry if we see it otherwise...M.

hi m. your words move me as always.

I keep wondering why every time some people just have to tagg whenever
they feel like it? On several occasions some people have been asked not
to tagg yet continue to do so.

At one point people were asking to tagg, now that is not being done. I
personally have voiced my opinions before and several others have also
done this. So to those who feel they need to tagg post it in your own
thread and say it is in answer to this item posted by this person.

Be courteous to the writers here and they will be courteous to you. I
was asked to post how I feel on tagging and it seems some people don't
listen. It should not be necessary for an author to add No tagging to
any post.

Just My Honest Opinion

Heather. The piece you compliment isn't the pice posted. Show some sort
of coutesy to the author of the post even if you like the work of
another.

It must be late my spellings gone to hell.

Beautiful work my Sis,

did nobody read my apology?

did any of you see that it was meant as an Honor?
like applauding th band after a concert...

would th audisnce put on a show to honor th band?

or give their applause right then as they were in the moment?

or all you all just hellbent against me?
I am not the only person who tags,
but I seem to be the ONLY one who gets griped at about it...

geeeze people...lighten up...it was only a poem...

you act like I S*H*I*T ALL OVER THE PAGE...

if i see something i like on a thread i should be able to compliment it
no matter who originated the thread. i thought the idea was for people
to enjoy everybodys work. not for one person to be the spotlight.

So you both going to continue to highjack her poem? this is what MODS
do they would delete the highjacking & disrespect.
I have no problem with either of you. just take it out of CCP's poem.
YES M13 WE HAVE SEEN YOUR APOLOGY! MANY TIMES!!
make a pitty party thread if you feel the need..

pity party?
wtf?
you people just have a boner for me?,
I don't want yer stupid pity...
where th hell did you get such a dumbassed idea?

if you think that...then you don't know,nor understand me...

oh boo f*u*k*i*n hooo...

I pissed in yer cornflakes...

dial 1-800-cry me a river

or leave a massage at 1-800-Git A Grip

send a fax to 1-800-bite my butt

**** you folks git real...

IT WAS ONLY A POEM

did I cut anybody?
did anyone die in here?

and C.C.P.
I seem to recall a time when you jumped in my poems...
you never asked me then...what makes the big diff. now???

pity my A*S*S

NO DISRESPECT WAS INTENDED IN TH FIRST PLACE...

but constant *****ing about a whimsy tag,
only discredits the works of poet and poem,

and you say I'm th ONE PERSON who disrespects with a tag?
do we needs to go back to ALL th poems
that have been tagged and show th authors?

why you all humping my leg about it?

i'm just gona stick my 3 cents here and just say this, i personally
don't like to see anyone tag anything, regardless of what the intentions
might be...it's like painting a mostash on the monalisa...the original
post should stand alone on it's own merit...tagging is just another way
of say..."look at me, i was here" thats just my opinion...

ccp for what it's worth, nice!

Michael...Once I made it known how I felt about tagging you should have
repsected that, you failed to do that. I only tagged yours because you
wanted and would ask me too, I have not tagged much of yours and really
hate tagging and you know this, so be respectful and do not tag my
work.Start a seperate thread if you feel you must. As of this date you
will no longer have the chance to tag my work, I will no longer post my
work here.
