Heh, this is supposed to be a thread where we worship your vast and mighty collected works, so I'll let that one slide.

[Lorelei]

SHE DIDN'T READ THE STORY!!!!

Yes I did read the story.....I just got ripped away from the Watch by work....I HATE when that happens.

I loved the story...I have read some of your work lucimay and have been impressed with all of it...

[dANdeLION]

I'm sure Luci knows that, Lorelei. Maybe she is just hoping you are stalking me, because she fears that Caam's rejection might crush me if I don't have something soft to break my fall.....

The Catfish Ferry



There’s a riddle, I’m told, about memory and time
and it reads like a river that runs wild and fine,
and there is, on this river, a way to be carried,
an answer (of sorts) called the Catfish Ferry.

I had wandered, so long, river’s edge, up and down,
wondering if there was a way to get ‘round
without diving in and risk getting caught
in the current of logic, the eddys of thought,

and so, when it came one day out of the mist,
I packed up my dreams and all that I’d wished,
all my family baggage and my grandmother’s clock,
and set off toward the bank and the old wooden dock.

I pulled out my quarter and asked to get on
but the man at the wheel said I’d got it wrong.
He said none of his riders ever gave him a dime.
On the Catfish Ferry, he said, we all do our time.

We haul on the lines and paddle like hell
so this damned old river doesn’t take us as well,
we roll up our sleeves, tho’ we’ve seen better days,
and we move ourselves and that’s how we get paid.

Now I’ve never minded doing my part
but this kind of work seemed much to hard,
I had my hands full with all I had packed.
How could I do it with this stuff on my back?

But I guess that he saw the fear in my face,
the doubt and confusion I couldn’t erase,
And he said to me then, Honeychild, don’t you worry,
just bring all your stuff up on to this ferry,

and when we get out to a spot in the center,
we’ll help you throw that old junk in the river,
everything you’ve collected that might make you sink,
we’ll just pitch that baggage right into the drink,


and I knew, straight away, that he was quite right
so when we got out to the middle that night,
I heaved all that luggage on over the side and was
light
as
a
feather
at the end of that ride.

Now that I’ve told it, you’ll know what to do
if the very same thing ever happens to you.
We’ll all be right here, un-weighted and merry,
to help you cross over on the Catfish Ferry.

Wow! I love that one Luci. I wish I could write like you. You know what, my friend is like a literature freak....I need to show him the stuff you've posted.... As long as you don't mind of course....

[lucimay]

this is a public formum drundaar. anyone can come here and read anything.

[I'm Murrin]

Good poem, Luci. Like the rhythm and rhyme.
And I thought your story was pretty good too.
