Re: Mama_Bear’s Poem by Emily Dickinson (#3,022)-

No, I don’t understand it - But I AM trying. (humble smile, here)

“Auroral Stain”? “Power Accosts”? “Garment of Surprise”?

I guess “mother” was in heaven?

Com’mon, JC - enquiring minds want to know.......;-)

[yorkie]

(blush) ‘inquiring’ minds....

[yorkie]

Thank you, Meg. It touched some sensitive places in my heart. (((((((((((((Meg))))))))))))))

[yorkie]

Now, ‘this’ dream song, I totally ‘get’. (Of course it was made loooooong before I knew what boys were - wink, wink.)

Everly Brothers - Dream Lyrics

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

FADE
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

I really loved the music of the Everly brothers — still do.

Also Temptations & Jackson 5 and Righteous brothers & Karen Carpenter & brother.. real & soul brothers, all good stuff

[DollyCali]

Dave the rule here is yes you DO get jail time & long stretch & itis suspended. Another instance & you are in slammer. So it was a significant threat

[DollyCali]

I do understand. I cant find stuff & I haven’t moved!!! if I can find it, often it doesn’t work.

you work is truly good. Billie & Silent_Jonny are also very good artists, sketchers. There are no doubt more.

[yorkie]

Buckeyes always relate to the *BEST*!

[DollyCali]

(big) smile...

and they will hopefully make sure McCain defeats Obama!!!!

I am still in night gown (PJ warrior).. will get dressed & go to store, get dinner & run pups at nearby cemetery

[yorkie]

Dolly, just take the pups for their run in your jammies. You will be better dressed than everyone there! :)

[Billie]

This is just beautiful, Lori, so soft and feminine, and...........well, dreamy! As the mood - and the 'holiday for today' suggests! And Ms Dickenson's poem, whatever some of that stuff means, is 'zactly right for your opening graphic, too. So there! You did it again!

[Billie]

Yep! Those be some silly celebrations for today - where'd the heck you find THOSE?! LOL

Have you ever tried these:

Yummm! They are sooooooo good! I like the cheddar flavored ones.

[Billie]

Billie & Silent_Jonny are also very good artists, sketchers. There are no doubt more.

Thank you, Dolly, and yes, I'm pretty sure it was visualops who did the most beautiful "Easter" sketch of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns at the earlier Amy's Place.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, I like that too! Thanks for the lyrics and the link, yorkie.

[Mama_Bear]

So there! You did it again!

Thanks for the compliments on my graphic and poem choice. I love Emily Dickinson's poetry, even if I don't always "get it", and I'm so glad I am not the only one who doesn't. LOL.

Still, I know she said something really special and if I keep pondering it, I might figure it out. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

No, are those real crackers? I haven't seen them.

Those be some silly celebrations for today - where'd the heck you find THOSE?! LOL

Right HERE! Sez so, right here! My next scheduled day is "Talk Like a Pirate Day" (Sept.19th) .....I love the silly ones! ;-)

[Billie]

They are real crackers - they’re so crisp and much better than just pretzels - it’s part pretzel and part ritz cracker. Do try them and see what you think. I bought the original flavor the first time, but tried cheddar after I emptied the first box (but not in one sitting or anything LOL), and like them even better!

I haven’t seen the “brownielocks” calendar - I’ve just used the two Amy sent me before going on her vacation. :)

I also like the silly ones. You get Pirates next, huh?! That should be a LOT of fun!

[jaycee]

That is so precious, Lady!

[Mama_Bear]

I'll try them. Sounds good.

I don't know where I found the brownielocks calendar, in a google search, I think. Looks like it is more for kids, but I like the silly, funny celebrations.

[DollyCali]

well that was true yorkie as I went to a cemetery for dog run. I was looking better than the corpses I guess. It is a light drizzle/mist here now

I did eat at local sports bar & caught up on a couple days of papers prior to walk.

Just turned on TV & nothing on network yet for convention. My best reception as been a local PBS station.
