To different minds, poetry may present different phases. to me, the reverent faith of the people i lived among, and their faithful everyday living, was poetry; blossoms and trees and blue shies were poetry. god himself was poetry.

More From Lucy Larcom

We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. i guess i should explain the blue food. see, gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. they had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. but ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. she baked blue birthday cakes. she mixed blueberry smoothies. she bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop.

The reality of living by faith as though we were already dead, of living by faith in open communion with god, and then stepping back into the external world as though we are already raised from the dead, this is not once for all, it is a matter of moment-by-moment faith, and living moment by moment. this morning's faith will never do for this noon. the faith of this noon will never do for suppertime . the faith of suppertime will never do for the next morning. thank god for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with god himself.

Blue is the insides of something mysterious and lonely. i'd look at fish and birds, thinking the sky and water colored them. the first abyss is blue. an artist must go beyond the mercy of satin or water-from a gutty hue to that which is close to royal purple. all seasons and blossoms inbetween. lavender. theatrical and outrageous electric. almost gray. true and false blue. water and oil. the gas jet breathing in oblivion. the unstruck match. the blue of absence. the blue of deep presence. the insides of something perfect.
Lonely Thinking Artist
Opportunity shies away from need, but opportunity is attracted by talent and ability. what you don't want to happen is opportunity to turn cool on you. you don't want to offend opportunity. so the only thing you present to opportunity is ability, performance and skill. don't present need to opportunity.

…the lake of shining waters was blue — blue — blue; not the changeful blue of spring, nor the pale azure of summer, but a clear, steadfast, serene blue, as if the water were past all modes and tenses of emotion and had settled down to a tranquillity unbroken by fickle dreams.

You know, i'm playing the mirage in vegas, the main room... about 5 percent of all comics end up as the main headliner on the vegas strip, so that's a big deal for me. getting to do my stand-up the way i have this summer is really what i've dreamed of since i was about 10 years old.
