We had a little art museum but i dont know where it went, so is anyone interested in displaying their creative talents here, for us to enjoy?
I know Mahrajah does poetry and Sage is an artist... I dont know if people can scan pictures here or not, but i would love to see people's creations here, paintings, photos of sculptures, poetry,creative writing, photos, etc etc.

Written by Weinermr in elementary school (which was a little more than a couple years ago).

A Martian had a ship,
And went sailing into space,
He suddenly bumped right into Earth,
You should have seen his face.

He opened up the hatch,
And got right out of the ship,
And then he heard inside his head,
A steady, "Blip, Blip, Blip".

The message said, "Come back to Mars,
Come back to Mars this day,
If I don't see you pretty soon,
I'll take away your pay!"

So he got back in the ship,
And took off back towards Mars,
And that was the last time we saw him,
On this world of ours.

That was great, Weiner. Such great talent at such a young age.

When my son was a wee baby, like 6 to 8 weeks old, he became very attached to a pacifier. His obsession with it didn't last too long. I think he was over it, before he was 6 mo old. Anyway, he just loved this thing, and it was the only thing that kept him happy in the car. So, I wrote this little song for him, to the tune of Yankee Doodle. (Oh yeah, I used to call him Punky.)

Punky Doodle went to town,
crying in his car seat,
stuck a binky in his mouth,
'cuz that is his security.

Punky Doodle suck, suck, suck,
Punky Doodle's happy,
Punky Doodle suck, suck, suck,
his binky makes him happy.

Weiner - just a little more? :)
Great poem, thanks for sharing!

Sage, I love your little song. I have a few of those too, but I think senility is beginning to steal them all away....

Child of Creation
(by <karuuna>!) copyright 1994


O Child of Creation
Sing your praises,
O Child of Creation!
Tell your tale,
Make your passions known.
Fill your cup with joy
Before you’re grown.

Rejoice, you are not alone.
For you, your elders must atone.
What came before
They carved in stone.
What’s to come
Is yours alone.

Rise, O Child of Creation,
Sup with Kings!
Once so mighty
Now in search
Of their beginnings.

Child, embrace the day anew.
Do what in ignorance and vanity
These once proud youths could not do.
Transform this cruel inheritance
Into something new!

And you who stand in protest
Against the flood of change
Fear not the tides of fortune
Your children rearrange.
For what have you accomplished,
What Laws have you transgressed?
To what noble virtues
Can your ilk attest?
Nor waste your time in false lament
But fuel your daughters with encouragement
Your sons are heaven sent!

Sing your praises,
O Children of Creation!
Loose your moorings,
Lift your sails.
With integrity as their master
Dreamers seldom fail.

It is as it should be
That Old and Young commune–
The Old to chart familiar waters
The Young to brave monsoons.

Now the time has come, Old Guards;
Yield crown and scepter to the New.
With each succeeding generation
Old customs we eschew.

A final word to heedless Youth
Remember if you can.
Your time on Earth is finite
Don’t wait to take your stand.
For when the wheel that’s spinning truth
Comes back around again,
You will be the Old Ones,
Your turn to make amends.

thats amazing karuuna, an epic!, and i am glad you were brave enuf to post a serious poem. i was hoping for some serious stuff here, but i do have to admit i loved weiners and sages alot
and because i am a less shy about being silly than serious, i will also post one from grade school 3rd grade?--

We had a fat speaker named Kit
who with paper airplanes was hit
She flew in a rage, and fell off the stage
We now have an orchestra pit!

maybe when i get braver i will dig out my old poems, havent written any for many years, and i dont have any way to post any sculptures or pottery or paintings, altho i did do a couple little weeny paintings on paint shop a couple weeks ago but cant figure out how to post those even..

Thank you Donut. This was one of those moments when everything was right. I have a lot of pictures taken at that same spot and none of them are the same.

Good composition on that photo Twiggs. A shot like that only exists for a minute or two.

the meeting of past. the meeting of present.
two different auras. two different paths.
what was then is transformed into now.
what was then is reborn in the clouds.
something special collides making us freeze.
unbalanced by life. motionless in need.
the perpetuance of life. the will to strive.
keys on the piano. bring the sound to life.
a clone of sorts. when a child is born.
to pass the crown. shall not meet the ground.
only one way. only one journey.
wether it be mine. wether it be thine.
the past as your reflection.
the present as your now.
both do meet. They dont cause sound.
emptiness is priceless. Reminders of life.
one moment. Equal realization.
our paths will cross. They will meet.
the meeting of past. the meeting of present."

Here's a rock showing only 1 angle, that I painted about 4 years ago.

Maj, a beautiful poem. (Another journey)

Sage, I am admiring your detail work. It is beautiful.

Thanks for the compliments, I do appreciate them.

I have been working on a website. So far, the art page is under construction, but I'm working to get things up soon. As soon as its ready, I'll post a link here.

Sage

Although its a work in progress, I have made good today. The site is ready to be seen. Not all of my work is there, but I'm working to get it up. Mind you now, this stuff is like a couple years old, as I have not been concentrating too much on the art. Its also very amateurish, and I make no claims to be a great and wonderful artist. Its just what has made me happy to do. So I hope you enjoy.

Also, for the mIRC fiends out there, there is a page of zipped wav files for downloading, to add to your chatting experience.

thanks sage! those are so great. I am really glad you put the site up. I wish i knew how the hell you do that stuff. The only digital art program i have reallly seen is Bryce, which my husband has. You would probably love it, it creates landsapes real or fantasy primarily. Have you used it? if not, check it out , theres lots of cool galleries of it on the web

Sage

I know what Bryce is. Its a 3d rendering, raytracing thing program, and I only very little about how to do it. I think I once tried Bryce or something like it, but it just didn't hold my interest at the time.

If you've ever played with the windows paint program, and enjoyed it, then you will probably like using something with more capabilities. Ultimate Paint is a great step-up program from the standard windows paint. I just learned by playing around, and trying different things. There are tons of tutorials on the web for doing this as well, and I learned from doing those too. If you ever have the desire to do it, then you will. Heck, if I can do it, anyone can.

i was doodling around with paint- its so basic and limited- i couldnt even get the alternate colors to work, but i had fun doing a couple paintings but i still cant figure out how to post them here.I worked with my students using KidPix which is really fun, although its more for kids, but it has Paint kinda stuff, but more elaborate so i am sure i would love the adult paint program. I cant even figure out what kind of real paints i like. I l like pastels, but not the logistics of them, like the dust and they rub off and get on everything, and i like working with acrylics but they dont look good like oils- they look plasticy and dry too fast, but i dont like the chemicals with oils, and i like watercolors but i suck at them, i am too uncontrolled with them.so i will just fingerpaint in my pudding for now...
