Bev Goodman commented on John's blog post Themis at 3A.M."You are quite the wordsmith here, and have a beautiful way of stringing words together. The last line really filled me with sadness,though. I wasn't expecting that."
James Storbacon commented on John's blog post Themis at 3A.M."The fourth sentence is brilliant man, love the image this one gives."

She can't bake a cake when the moon is this full. Floating with the nocturnal angels enveloped in a blue dream on the corner of San Vicente and Sunset she watches abstractions come to life. Sunset Boulevard creature cakes dripping bomb rocked busy disappearing into patchwork posters that adorn the Whiskey. She takes the change from a homeless man and throws it into the sky making survival starlight pour down in bitter envious mockery. Laurel Canyon feels a million miles away down here and she…See More
"There is a lot to like in this (and to be afraid of...;0). I love the reference to cracks. Reminds me of Leonard Cohen's Anthem: "Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There's a crack in…"

Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come
"Perhaps the greatest song ever written. Beautiful, powerful, sorrowful and haunting all at the same time. This is the timeless anthem of the civil rights movement of the 60's. How strange Sam died gunned down by the manager of a seedy hotel in…"

John commented on James Storbacon's blog post Halter My Sweet Alter"I dig this! It reminds me a bit of Kerouac's Big Sur. This brings to life visions of Monsanto's cabin where Duluoz found that paradise breeds insanity."

I can feel deeper than most, this is not an attempt to sound conceited. I can see the sexual deviance that you keep tucked away in the deadly dark corners of your mind, I can see your tears before they fall, I can see a lot. I can hear the whisper that the traffic brings on a mid-afternoon day, I can hear the concrete carnival of depression rising up from the humid heat stretched tar that tries to conceal the imperfect cracks of the city; the same cracks that run through you and I. I can feel…See More

Epic Fails:
Though I probably need structure more than I'd like to admit, I find it impossible to adhere to a schedule. My continued confidence that I can have three drinks or less when at a bar. Returning phone calls and emails. Putting on the patch of commitment and quitting smoking, (the ring was much easier). Keeping plans with people (I'm a notorious flake), I do have the best of intentions, but we all know where that paves the way to. Letting go of guilt, pragmatic phantoms of…

Blood looks so appealing in the moonlight. The sweet smell of death drifting up through the trees. The taste of an autumn candlelight crucifixion. The feeling of breaking bone solitude as color fades from life. Madness feeds this senseless horrible impulsive indulgence. The sound of desperate screams carried on the gentle breeze as my starlit blade shines beneath the majestic sky reminding me… Continue

- Thanks for your comment on "Manna". I went and found myself a bit of Corso, specifically, America Politica Historia, In Spontaneity. I would never have come across that without your input, and want you to know how I am humbled by the notion that I could somehow put you in mind of him.

Kristine_ES said… - hi john,
just saw your post asking what flash fiction is...someone else may have answered this for you already, and probably better too! it's very short fiction (or very short non-fiction, if you wish). on this blog the flash is six sentences long. flash to me means it's over in a flash or it's written in a flash..happens in a flash. short but ... dang!
i'm used to poetry, too, but really need practice writing longer pieces.

- Hi John,
Nice to see you, glad you could make it. Now all we have to do is practice writing flash fiction in six sentences. --Kristine
