Picking Up Where I Left Off

I don’t like to disappoint. I don’t even like the wOrd like condescending, those who called me, know why you never heard back from me.

From me a playback, a glimpse, idiosyncrasies, whatever they’re calling these things. Here’s a few that make me tick.

Tick stop the second hand on steel wheels it stands still, hip-hop free from drums submerged in words and verses that feel real.

Feels real compared to what? Imagination runs until you’re down in your luck with no food, no gas, and a day and a half away from safety, real compares to none.

None is accurate it I vouch for it and second it. Two hours from the house it’s pouring now and the snow’s starting to stick.

Stick it out another offramp, find a lobby somewhere for shelter, as we peak under the eaves for clear weather we’re here together.

Together on this gravity defiant shared surface sharing thoughts and thoughtless re-enactments because we believe it’s worth it.

Worth its weight in gold, so we’re told, whatever that means. It means we’re holding up the bowl and eating everything they feed.

Feed as in #news is called spam not food, who’s to believe false advertisement’s appetizing? Tell me, what’s a news feed to you?

You aren’t buying into a printed opinion painted for mass appeal that holds weight and navigates by using plots that are not real.

Not real like a general warning: ‘May cause cancer’ when the truth is their packages backed with death is the answer.

Answer me this like a riddle, what’s the author talking about? Juggling concepts around I doubt a third person thought out loud about.

About face! That’s the thought made to plague society these days, we turn away from maintain and trade it away for front page.

Front page distraction: “Hurry! Hurry! Step right up!” We got everything you need right here where’s your cup?

Your cup runneth over I’ve heard that somewhere before, backed with more support with plans to stack some more.

More of what? More of what you need like the type of soul to strike a pull and leave you half the green.

Green screen on tv interfering to be seen with weather reports, more to ignore and everything in between.

Between a rock and a hard place, who’s listening to what? I’ve heard of them against us but this is getting ridiculous.

Ridiculous like out of rhythm toxic nonsense investments. Change the subject, take the first step, make it worth it play amusement.

Play amusement like an instrument and use it as you grow, tell me about the time you packed up #life and waved goodbye to all you know.

You know it isn’t as crazy now as I thought it was back then when we were selling off possessions destination unknown residences.

Residence as in the place awaken nothing exceeds basic to believe these worldly things exist beyond this is mistaken.

Mistakes, embrace them, I just wrote an article about it. Speaking of writing, I’m wondering how long I can continue #writing like this.

Like this picking up where I left off adds a challenging touch by ending sentences with a wOrd that’s the beginning of the next one.

One at this price, one of a kind, once in a lifetime is every moment. Hold it like you own it shown you’re not alone and quote it.

Quote it again until it sinks in to memory like scenery when everything around you moves freely, seeing is believing.

Believing what you see and hear is nothing without feeling, appeal the healing, fear no speaking as we seek to be reseeded.

Reseeded as in see again, seeing through these making sense, made to reminisce about the last wOrd at the start of every sentence.

Every sentence precedes exits without a period to shut it down, add some commas, look around and talk about how its over now.

Now is just a wOrd who’s #history once it’s quoted, noted. Picking up where I left off only seemed like a lot until I wrote it.

Haha… I laugh because it’s so good. I don’t know how you do that. I’m sure if read and reread I would notice even more creativity through your layers of art. I love you babe! You amaze me all the time.

I sure am glad you think so. Thank you,
You’re gorgeous. Ok.. I gotta get back to Hollywood hobby now. 👍🏿

iheartu all the time beautifulest.

Are you practicing trance induced automatic writing my friend...??? Or have you been nibbling on them shrooms once again???????

Ha! Ah you know, this is one of those articles.. by one of those authors.. who no niche is his niche authors. Thanks a lot reading this, sir, I hope the flashback wasn’t too intense. 😉

Thanks a lot for stopping by @angryman, it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.

Oh man! I can imagine the flow perfectly... Although I am sure you wouldn't consider recording it for a post if requested by a rapidly aging, Dad dancing, eccentric English dude so ask I shall not. ((That was a tad Yodaish if I'm honest...))

Seriously though, I loved the phrasing, slight of word and breathless jumping beat throughout. There were some great truths about the world we find ourselves inhabiting hidden throughout too kinda like a @dandays does social commentary whilst hitting ya with a boom after every revelation, realism and flash of inspiration.

Feeling enthused to try my hand at a first-last too, the thing with this community is that ya never quite know what firsts you are gonna try next. One thing is for certain if I do try my hand at this style of writing verse crossed with spitting lyrics...

Trying my hand at a first last will not be by my last first...

Damn why are my family always elsewhere when I say these clever things???

Good job dude, not bad for an old guy

I think this...

Believing what you see and hear is nothing without feeling, appeal the healing, fear no speaking as we seek to be reseeded.

Was the most satisfying part to read in freestyle flow.

Leaving all the crap jokes aside - this piece quite categorically rocks! Take good care man and keep expanding the concept of just what words can do. 😎

Man, this is a no-brainer—first things first:

If you only knew how difficult it is for me to click the post button after I do stuff like this, you’d understand how valuable your compliment is to me. I can’t type “thank you” big enough.

The part about your family missing out on your cleverness—eh, that was funny!

I checked out your profile and immediately was looking at a wOrd my wife calls me—wordsmith. That’ll draw out the follow button from me, sir, it’s a pleasure to be met.

I’m blown away at your favorite line amongst the entire page of lyrics, I’m not making this up, that was the one I was afraid nobody would understand as though I was just throwing things together based on syllables or something.

Stevenwood, I’d say you made my night with this compliment but that doesn’t come close to the level of encouragement you’ve shared so I’m just going to say I can’t type “thank you” big enough. Again.

Thanks for stopping by @stevenwood, I’m glad you did.

Yesssss 2 for 2!!!

I'm gonna start collecting these suckers...

Thanks man. As you can see from my all-too-often late response, I have so little blockchain time recently, but when I am around I like to truly engage, people are always saying how terrible humans are, but to my great shame, I still kinda like them and enjoy learning about them and getting to know them.

But to the serious part of my oh-so-strange ((they usually are)) response... I am flabbergasted that you didn't realise how great this piece was. I often sound a a tad gushing in my praise and more than a little fangirlish, but I am always 100% sincere. That's a formula that has served me well for more years than I'd like to admit lol.

If you only knew how difficult it is for me to click the post button after I do stuff like this

Nah! Don't even question it my friend, just be Dan'ish and put it out there for the world to see. That's not to say I don't suffer that slight hesitancy when hovering over the button myself. In real life it is much, much worse I freely admit, but the world can take us or leave us, right?

Stevenwood, I’d say you made my night with this compliment but that doesn’t come close to the level of encouragement you’ve shared so I’m just going to say I can’t type “thank you” big enough. Again.

And if that's true, then you in turn made mine also, Don'tcha just love win/win scenarios?

Sorry about the humongous delay in responding... I read so many posts I intend to respond to but life does not allow atm. You have more talent than you give yourself credit for. I imagine you could write great fiction too, perhaps even allegorical in nature?

I shall leave you with a quote from a piece of fiction I recently read that kinds of taps in to my life view and beliefs regarding the very future of our species...

I’ll only say this once, any raccoon who’s stupid enough to obey the authority of another raccoon is probably stupid enough to sit next to a lion and believe they’re friends.”

Damn I wish I got the chance to write all the responses I intended too but time and brevity are simply not good friends to me! Until next time Sir, I bid you Adieu 😎

Truly gifted, it's a great twist of modern poetry and philosophy.

Pegarissimo, good morning my man! The very first person to ever Resteem one of my articles, I’ll never forget that, sir. I needed all the help I could get on this platform, this is still, as we type, the first and only social media experience for me. I appreciate your confidence since day 1. Thanks for reading this one, I’m glad you liked it. Happy Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by @pegarissimo.

edit Hey @pegarissimo, I don’t know if you got a chance to check out the last portrait I did. Check it out when you get a chance dude, I’m really proud of the way it turned out. See you around, sir—Pencil portrait

Yup, you are awesome. When I came back my first reaction was wow, Dandays sure did step up! The quality of your posts are awesome, I actually saw a few mentions of you in different posts, quite impressive if I may say so! A great addition to steemit. I'm glad that I was able to pinch in. 👍

Man, is this a poetry? lol

I couldn’t think of any other tags, the first one is what it is, #poetry just seemed logical.

Hey Man, hook me up with that animated ArtzOne signature, yeah? Good job getting that! 👍🏿 I’m on discord if that helps—dandays #6299.

Thanks for stopping by @cityofstars. Eh, did you know if you image search “Steemit” your profile picture shows up amongst the many images?

if you wanna the picture you must pay 5 SBD lol joking
sending it to you in one hour

Now being that I read this just half way through my first cup of coffee, and still a little foggy, I needed to read it a second time, at a much slower pace.
You've got one creative mind. This piece made me laugh, inspect, wonder, and question.

Oh yeah? Well this response made me smile from my eyes to my mouth so there!

You’ve got one creative mind.

Coolest thing I’ve heard all week, sir. Thank you very much, I’m glad you think so. Because when I do things like this, I’m a nervous wreck before I click the post button. Then I’m super nervous hoping it isn’t rejected.

I’m really glad you liked this one, Sweed. Oh man Wait’ll you see the short film I’m putting together for my food fight contender. This movie editing stuff is frikkin fun! I got your message on discord—I responded back. We’re all hooked up now. 👍🏿

Thanks for stopping by @thebigsweed.

All hooked up to possible hook up.
Like most things that are difficult in the beginning, as we gain a level of expertise, and let the fun begin.

Buenos dias! I just shot you my alternate email address over on our discord conversation. Shoot me a line when you get a minute so we’ll have each other’s email and maybe get this meeting date all squared away.

Or at least the handoff of some of that syrup!

Talk to you soon, Sweed.

Howdy sir dandays! so...you're a rapper now? What the Samhill is this thing anyway? I need a redneck translation! lol. It's cool and clever but I don't understand it, am I supposed to?

Nah. I just like to write and draw sometimes, point out random facts, stuff like that, maybe try to make someone laugh every once in awhile. Recently I’ve been teaching myself to edit video—it’s a no niche thing I guess. But I’ve been called a lot worse—thanks.

I know what you mean about not understanding. I’ll never understand why anyone would use the money out of their own pocket to decrease the value of a community reward pool, in a community designed around equal reward pool distribution, for the sole purpose of a number—that’s it.

Thanks for stopping by @janton.

Howdy sir dandays! who called you something? I sure didn't call you anything. except clever and funny. It's my denseness that can't comprehend anything but simple concepts! lol.
I agree about the reward pool, they complain about not as much creators creating good posts and then they reduce the payout??? me no savvy.
Hanging out this weekend, is the weather going to be condusive for bike riding?

Uhm.. should be doing what? Do what was that?
