It has, hasn't it?
Somehow Geronimo just doesn't have the same ring to it.

TAPS, thannk you
Its frustrating, the waiting and not knowing if and when Dave is coming back. (note I didn't use it there).
I've no wish to annoy you or anyone, in deference to your wishes, i'll stop acking,but some of his other friends made ackt out, it's jsut part of the grieving process, it's natural.

This is great. I especially liked it because it got its message across, and that with no ACKing. LOL. We are all using ACK so much that it is beginning to annoy me. HAHAHAHA

Katray, yep, I had that whole train of "need, seed, weed' going
when I wrote it. Your poem definitely sparked a crescendo of ideas.

Fantastic poem, Zena!

Well done Zena, I like the imagery and symbolism.

I know, Nautikos, that's what drew me to his blogs in the first place
Fine-feathered friends flocking together. He's definitely a kindred spirit.

Turning in mid-flight, one spiraling mystery
No leader, its direction unknown, except to inborn drives, free-flying, feeding as it flies, on the fly, always in motion.
I like your analogies. I love Russian dolls. They're called matryoshkas, little mothers, because of the way they nest inside each other.

the collective in 'linear' flight - one voice
sorry i missed your last post last site - but i added this in reply when i read it much later, thinking about the idea of creativity as a gift:
'gift' - like breathing, earthquakes & russian dolls
the first is life, the second you don't know what it will throw up, and the third is a paradox

All based in reality, PatB, the greater part of humanity
The jackdaw flies

the jackdaw isn't one of us
he's all of us
For that, I'll stand up and salute and say, Jack this blog's for you. We got your back. Come back soon.

Somehow I thought the jackdaw was a mythical bird,
a created creature, and then I see they're flying and free, and in a photo too, with eyes of blue, how can that be in a bird flying free, when birds' eyes are brown in this part of town. I like your new blog, title, content and all! Keep writing!

I know you hate to be serious or er philosophical so I won't
get all dull on you. But, imho, freedom is a state of mind from all kinds of jails, mental and physical.

Welly
You don't mind if I call you that, since we're long lost sisters, right? Like our other non-identical non-related twin? Yeah, I liked that one, too. I'm a nutty bird, but a free one.

Any more tributes and we'll have to put out an album, Fine
But surely we're not ready for Farewell tour yet, are we? We haven't played the sad songs yet.
