Their dad moved to Montana the weekend before Father’s Day and my two teenagers acted like it was no big deal but I know the truth but my Little Blonde Talking Monkey reacted with her expected shower of tears and guilty anxiety she tells me “Dad deserves to be happy too” as I rock her cry

Who said anything about money? If you want to make money, get a job. If you want to make art, then make it. Moskowitz (who made $19 whole bucks last year with his book)

Reply to Phase "Boredom" in Poetry JoeUser Forums

My life is a joke, lame and obscure, not even worth explaining. You may feel this way, but you're a damned good writer and the joke may not be worth explaining, but I still relish your work. "Don't linger on that shit too long, it'll fuck with ya." -- Richard Pryor Thanks, Moskowitz

Reply to Top 10 Indications You Are Not Reading Your Bible Enough in Religion JoeUser Forums

When people ask me about my bible reading, I always tell them I'm in Mark 17, and see if they notice. 90% of American homes may have bibles, but reading a bible outside of church services is about 40%. WWW Link I always tell folks that Christian is a verb, and to read James 2:17. Thanks for the chuckle, - Moskowitz

[quote}Given we are the fortunate few up against the overwhelming weight of the many who still live without even the most basic of 'modern' essentials like a roof and running water, we have to be particularly mindful we don't accidentally slip the vehicle of progress into reverse.

Excellent writing again. The sentiment reminds me of the lyric from a George Michael song: "Turn a different corner and we never would have met." I pray for your continued healing, Moskowitz

Reply to like a chipmunk on crack in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Once, a long time ago, a former paramour of mine gave me a "diet pill". Later that night, or earlier that next morning (however you look at it), I realized that she had given me speed. The good news is that I wrote a lot that day; the bad news is that it wasn't good writing. My wife works with the Head Start preschool and she and her teacher collect the things the kids say throughout the year. My favorite this year: My mom says my brothe

Don't give up - the joy is in the process, not the product. The more you keep the pen in your hand, the better your odds will be that the inspiration and the pen will coincide. - Moskowitz BTW, nice poem about not being able to write.

Reply to Television in Poetry JoeUser Forums

As things go, I love the television too. Here's my take on it. http://ihatepoetry.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=76454 Your writing always seems so mournful and sad. I hope there is some sunlight in your world, even if its just a few seconds. You're a real talent-don't let the darkness eat away too much of you. Thanks, and praying for you, Buddy M.

Reply to Her Keeper in Poetry JoeUser Forums

A personal aside: every woman who ever left me, each left me with something to feel - something to write about and wonder. No love is ever in vain, but that's not much consolation as you lay all the love notes and receipts before you and "wonder where all the good luck went." (Quoted phrase from Charles Bukowski's "I Made a Mistake", which you might like.) Professional criticism: I look forward to your continued writing. Your writing has become a welcome surprise that I appreciate m

Reply to Ode to Spaghettio Can Number Three in Poetry JoeUser Forums

I liked the brevity of this one: especially how in so brief a space you brought together loneliness, emptiness, mindlessness and memory. Thanks so much - you remind me that I don't have to write a lot of words to say a lot.
