Here's a poem I might consider, a "lost" poem from 1999 just discovered today:

> Stone, Stone

> Walking down Macon Road with Lady Elaine,
> she's wearing my aged black denim jacket,
> we're arguing about the moon.
> In my teal grean hat and fag bag, pacing back & forth,

A poem of mine from nearly twenty years ago, could use some revision, but basically a sound work, and might make an interesting addition to this volume, or perhaps a future collection if not this one.

A couple of somewhat surprising choices there, George, one I want to add to
my list is "Rag-Picker Joe"

Check out "Rag-Picker Joe" / Will Dockery & Henry Conley

Good choice, original version of course, rather than the Country music song
I adapted it into.

This one can stand a bit of a buff job and some detailing but is indeed road

Minimal work, mostly on the line breaks.

Same here, just want to shoot it through my currently weary and wiser
vision.

Nightmare Tears
Saint Augustine Blues #6
Sky Song

> Silver Glassy Rain

Same with the others, just a retype and the kinks will get mellowed down...

[George J. Dance]

OK; you've just given me an idea. Here's a 5-line poem, and you've also written some haiku; probably other short things.

I was thinking it would be best to start every poem at the top of a page. (except the parts of "WD," but that's because they're parts. That may result in a number of second pages with little or no text on them. I suggest keeping a file of these short poems (a different kind of "shortlist") to use on those mostly-blank pages - as filler, in a way, but also as bonus poems.

[Will Dockery]

This is a good basic idea, George, rather than have a lot of wasted blank space.

Bears discussion.

[Will Dockery]

Leonard Cohen's "Sisters of Mercy" is an all-time favorite.

:)

[Will Dockery]

Have you ever seen a Jim Senetto book?

I do hope he finds some way to get all the misused apostrophes and spelling mistakes out of the "finished" version of his poetry.

If Jim put half the energy into correcting his poetry as he does stalking and attacking me, he might have something.

I'm just thinking that the original "Combat Zone" from 1997 might make a good addition, again, with a slight re-write, mainly line placement. Here's a version set to music, which is very different from the original poem, which was a decade old by the time of this "Word Jazz" adaptation:

The Ride (Combat Zone) / Will Dockery and The Shadowville All-Stars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lZ3VAmNTWc

The Ride (Combat Zone)
Recorded at SoHo
Columbus, GA 31907
June 16, 2006
Video by Janis Petersen

.

[George J. Dance]

When I was looking for poems, for my selection, there were several I left off simply because I couldn't find text, just video links. "The Ride" is one; "Silver Blazing Sun" and "Greybeard Cavalier" were two others.

I mention them because, while I was mostly giving song lyrics a pass, I don't expect you to. As I see it, your selection will be the 'heart and soul' of the book, so please pick the ones you like the best regardless of source.

I'm keeping a list of your suggestions, and I've added "The Ride" to it.

[Will Dockery]

"The Ride" was two poems combined another "Mini Epic", I suppose... "Combat Zone" from 1997 and "Skirt of Printed Sunflowers" from around 2001, or maybe 2002 written about the events of 2001.

[George J. Dance]

OK; well, let's count those parts as one pick, with the combined years at the bottom, as with "WD" - I'll make a note of that.

I've seen both those titles, but I don't recall seeing the words.

[Will Dockery]

I'm not sure about using both poems, but Liszt them for now under the newest title, "The Ride (Combat Zone)", which is what the two poems became after being set to music in 2006.

😀

Oh, I see; "Skirt" is incorporated in the newer poem. That' all we need, then.

[Will Dockery]

George, I'd forgotten you have no sound, so you couldn't hear the video.

Yes, the verses use "Combat Zone" and the chorus break uses "Skirt of Printed Sunflowers".

I may not ever wrote them down in that form, just recited the two with the band jamming jazz.

[Will Dockery]

I'd leave "Greybeard Cavalier" off, as it was a full collaboration with P.D. Wilson, Brian Fowler and myself, including plenty of lyrics by those two.

"Silver Blazing Sun"... there are probably many others more worthy of this set, to be honest.

Here is the main verse text for "The Ride", which is part of the story of another "She Said" type girl, named Raine. While the poem itself is good, I'll want to do the retype/revision on it, polish the line breaks and so on before publication:

The chorus part is from "Skirt of Printed Sunflowers", which also needs some minor repair work, although I haven't looked for it in the vaults yet.

You should talk, since you are always blaming your "mobile gizmo" for your many typos.

And here you are attacking him unprovoked just to start conflict. Your claim that you are only "here for the poetry" is a lie. You are a liar. Liar.

Why don't you resolve your conflict with Jim in the ring, as has been proposed, tough guy?
I'll be the ring girl even, although I doubt you would make it out for the second round.

[Will Dockery]

I have no conflict with Jim.

He has one with me.

Get your facts straight, troll.

:)

[Brooke]

The fact is you went on the attack in a thread which has nothing to do with him. You deleted my quote of your attack because you are a dishonest bastard. You've constantly been calling him old, feeble, and saying you could take him out with one punch. Those are the facts.

Yes, I must admit that it isn't hard to like writing such as this, is it?

"...Columbus poet Will Dockery for me, as both of their work seems to exist
in a shrouded other-world: for Dockery it is Shadowville... for Coulette it
is the smoky noir Los Angeles of Raymond Chandler, full of spies and madams
and detectives and liars, people with secrets hanging out in scuzzy hotel
rooms and putting out cigarettes in empty bottles of cheap beer..."

[Michael Pendragon]

I like that: "Will Dockery's poetry is the equivalent of empty bottles of cheap beer."

[Will Dockery]

John Phillips is a splendid writer, and has a cutting, but friendly, wit.

John Phillips' mainly known as a drummer.

For example, Phillips was drummer on "Rag Picker Joe"...

I will certainly add John Phillips to the "possible" list, I have no idea how busy he may or may not be these days, as Macon is well known as a hardball town.

Well, this doesn't "keep the record straight at all". Psychodragon could not have meant the above, since he wasn't even talking to you, as your quote makes clear.

I'm afraid that, again, "gay lame" is the best explanation.

I might add, but would rather not, that since Dr. Pogo (John Phillips) is
only in his early thirties, Pen may be hinting at pedophilia as well.

Still slobbering away, Jim Senetto?

Your obsession is getting as bizarre as it is pathetic.

:)

[Will Dockery]

I'll tell you that answer myself, Jim, since simple common sense is that I ,
or nobody else should be boxing you, a 71 year old man with a history of
seizures and strokes already.

That's just not going to happen, old man... but it can live on in your
fantasies, of course.

[Will Dockery]

And since you seem mistaken, Doo-Nanny is a peaceful art, music and poetry
festival...not the place for bitterly violent old geezers, Jim.

This word 'violent'...you must have enjoyed boxing in its hay day...hell, even football is violent....anyway, it's for charity..your know the work you do over the years to make 'thousands'

Why are you so desperately trying to turn a sarcastic comment about your liking to have your ego stroked into a "gay lame"?

I'm starting to wonder if you're secretly harboring some ... feelings ... for Mr. Phillips, and are hoping that if you raise enough fuss about it that he'll get the hint.

Really, Will ... this is odd behavior, even for you.

No, Dunce started it (as a troll), of course.

But I was responding to your reply:

Writes Jim Senetto, the fool who posts on here day in and day out and even
admits that he's so obsessed with me he'll be "on my ass" until the next
seizure hits him.

[Michael Pendragon]

There's no joke. You were building on one of Dunce's troll posts in an attempt to get everyone accusing one other of pedophilia again.

Apparently you need to deflect the attention away from Jim's boxing challenge (or from charges that you're an unemployed hillbilly living off your brother's SSI checks, etc).

You've got about 100 new/reopened threads here today that all seem calculated to run this group into the ground. Stop it. Just stop it.

Put Jim, Me, Brooke, useneteditor, in your killfile and post a new poem that we haven't already read a dozen times.

[Will Dockery]

Yes, there was definitely a joke, Pen, I know because I made the joke.

The problem is that you didn't get the joke.

By the way, Jim Senetto's "fistfight" troll is over...

Turns out that Jim admitted today that all the violent imagery is in fact
just idle fantasy, the daydreams of a 71 year old man rapidly approaching
his golden years.

Since you asked, Pendragon.

:)

[mydemon...@gmail.com]

Over? Seems like you're trolling for more right now.

As I recall, Jim said he'd wanted to knock you out for charity, but that you chickened out of yet another challenge/bet.

[Will Dockery]

No, I haven't been involved in violence in over a decade, and I sure will not fight a 71 year old man with a history of serious health problems like Jim Senetto has.

Again, Jim admitted it was just s fantasy he has, anyway, dort of like Corey and the bugly event, I reckon.

Now would YOU kindly stop trolling me about it, Pen?

When I do work for charity and other worth causes, you know I perform a set of my songs and poems.

And, as I've shown earlier, I've done dozens of benefit shows for those worth causes already, so I'm set for now.

That's they way I do it, but you can follow your own path.

Corey, it means will is a coward. His contribution for charity events any amounts to around $1000 for about 12 years.
I contribute that much before taxes each year.
