re: something I wrote on A Warming Trend Post

It was Time Machine, Friday 16 July. I’ll wait if you have to go look at it. It is not necessary. A percentage of you will look, others will plod on thinking you can get by without the bother, and I’m with you, but I have been wrong before.

Onward.

This poem called Time Machine has repeats in it because at times I am seeking through novel poetical form, ways to bring poetry into the new millennium, the newish (21st) century.

How many years do we call it new millennium? New, old, It is the only millennium we have, but we do recall the old one. I think we should call it new for ten or twenty years, maybe longer. After all, It does go on for a thousand years. Step back and look at that. One thous and years.

Century is another matter, that only goes one tenth as long as the big M., Century is new one tenth of the time as the big M. We then can call the Century new for one or two years. That’s enough.

Now back to the subject at hand: repeating, as done in the Time Machine. (Here I have to say parenthetically that this sounds more interesting than it may actually be, I mean the words “repeating as done in the Time Machine”, intriguing.)

to topic:

Sing a popular song, ha, if you can, and it will go round and round – the hook is one name for the repeating part, the catchy part.

Although my repeating upsets me off ( word change there) because I began this sentence, then had to go do something else, and when I returned, I fogot what I was writing. There – I mistyped forgot , I almost wrote misspelled, but obviously I can spell forgot without ifficulty, as It is not I before e tricky.

There I left the d off of difficulty. Another typing error. not spelling. It was a physical thing. I should have my finbgers checked. Maybe you should too. You do that and I’ll be around somewhere when you return. If you decide against it, so long.

Hi Jack,
An interesting post at 2:16 am. I'm wondering why you've taken all the images off of your blogs? I like the picture of you, smiling. (Now, you'll have to ask me which one.) I miss your blackbird here. Take care... Off to work soon... Annie
