The monkey reference alluded to above puts me in mind of the jazz greats whose addiction led them to think they couldn't create unless they continued to feed it. Not that I'm saying that's what this is about :).

Only it's not true in oxymoron terrain that "words don't flow": they most certainly do. It's the waiting, the 'gluttonous famines' that are the hardest.

This poem makes me think of those writers and artists who truly believed that they could not do well unless they overwhelmed their senses with drugs or drink or sex and other things. And although many of them were fantastic at what they did, many of them died young due to that overindulgence. Just guessing here, but I like the poem and its rigid need Elizabethhttp://soulsmusic.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876400310749659322.post-72736134775106521062010-07-16T11:24:42.188-06:002010-07-16T11:24:42.188-06:00The monkey's throwing me off to, unless it rel...The monkey's throwing me off to, unless it relates to the saying about monkeys typing on computers to write Shakespeare...?mareymercyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407666873261385487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876400310749659322.post-43205873583859102902010-07-16T11:23:11.549-06:002010-07-16T11:23:11.549-06:00Pamela- Don't sweat the message, it's mean...Pamela- Don't sweat the message, it's meant to be hidden. :)<br />Rall- Writers' block is in there..it's a bugger sometimes, eh?<br />Barbara- Sorry for the disconnect, a little ambiguity is good for the soul? :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by ladies, it's always a pleasure to read your comments.brenda whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846306414656375463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876400310749659322.post-85172434958802997352010-07-16T09:43:24.034-06:002010-07-16T09:43:24.034-06:00this is an interesting take on the prompt, Brenda....this is an interesting take on the prompt, Brenda.
