HI,

Thanks all for the huge welcome! I will certainly let you know when my books are in print. Hey smilies are fun! right?

Very nice.
Has Sharon Olds influenced your writing (just curious since you mentioned dark and ironic).
Can you point us to any journals you may have been published in?
Good stuff.

WEll honestly i am not sure who that poet it. I am a bit strange in that i do not like reading other peoples writing. I like the idea of being able to write pure and not copy someone elses style. I do have published material on www.pencilstubs.com and my own web site. I also have calenders in print on Lulu press. Look for the last name Bailey. I am not sure what spamming rules are here so will not post my website without permission.

Hello Noreen!

Is this one of your calendars? Looks great! They even ship to europe

Well, it is 0048h local time here now and i will - before i go to sleep -
once again read your beautiful poem i found on the interweb:

Weaving Soulmates

By Noreene M. Bailey

The darkness in the room drapes over our bodies
cool and comforting dimming the outside
peace is nestling in your shoulder
listening to your metronomic heart
a fleeting compassionate sanity
breaths rising and falling like the tide.

I live for these moments
the loving after passions storm
all my feeling words though
locked emotions on guard
I would share without regrets
but love's emotions are not your norm

I settle for the few experiences of closeness
touching the webs of karma's eternity
I've known you through time
and wish you could remember and see
with kisses and touches of noses
we have a mutual dimensionless memory.

Today's time may be brief and caring
limited lessons of souls loving
time wanes and doors close
parting is an eventuality
learning to let go of sharing
Intertwining and redirecting loves moving

I know when goodbye has arrived
That time to release you on your way
we are two woven in a fabric of time
your absence reconnected later
rejoined halves your heart and mine
we will weave again threads of eternal love and pain.

The walls of my castle

The walls rise high above my head
No one sees out, no one sees in
My soul depressed returns to bed
Tired of heartache and sorrows of men

High are those walls, small my domain
I can't reach out, you can't reach in
The sun in the sky and the passing of rain
Tell times tale as I sit here within

I lift my eyes and gaze in wonder
At a sparrow that sits atop my wall
Strange these thoughts, my spirit wakes
Spreads wings, rises, to flight it takes
Up, up, be free, think not to fall
Now beside the sparrow I stop to ponder

The sun shines, and far as eye can see
Rise other walls with ramparts high
Where others sit and won't be free
I see ------- and cannot but sigh

those who can, do.
Those who can't,
or won't,
or don't,
teach

Let sleeping dogs lie.
For when they wake,
Let sleeping dogs wake.
For when they lie,

start what you
finish what you

dance like nobody's watching
you live life like
everybody is
watching
you

desire
but don't
chase

War is hell. Stop. But
must carry on. Stop.

All the world's
a staging staging

I
could live in a
nutshell. Oh wait.
Please pass the

we
are all
children
pretending
to
be

a penny saved is
a penny earned is

Penny pound
foolish wiser

Love is war, but

I'm so lazy
everybody says

There is nothing to fear, but

because we all hate
closing our mouth.
yawns are so contagious

but being bad is
great.
but being great is
bad.
Being good is easy

happiness
is
guessing right.
but being right
isn't
necessarily

are
you afraid of
change
or
are you
afraid of

because we all love
hating
to close our mouth.
Yawns are so contagious

breathe

Yesterday
All those backups seemed a waste of pay
Now my database has gone away
Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
There's not half the files there used to be
And there's a milestone hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly

I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say
Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay

Yesterday
The need for back-ups seemed so far away
I knew my data was all here to stay
Now I believe in yesterday

I think you may have meant "millstone" and not "milestone". Anyway, your post reminded me of:

When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."

As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
LOGO's dead and buried,
Write in C.

I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.

If you've just spent nearly 30 hours,
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.

Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
BASIC's not the answer.
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it.
Write in C..

Lots more of this sort of stuff at http://www.poppyfields.net/filks/authindex.html

cheese is soft , cheese gets mold,
cheese gets hard, when cheese grows old,
then there's cottage, old, and cream,
cheese makes the moon, in someone's dream,
cheese is orange, white, and green,
though the latter's rarely seen,

a poem I wrote when someone told me:

“Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.” ~ G.K. Chesterton
