Writing Poetry

Sometimes the mood just strikes me to write --anything. Get that penlil moving on that paper and just see what comes out.


The other day I met my friend at a poetry reading and everyone in the circle was sharing. I felt very timid to share what I wrote because it was written very hastily the evening before. 


Time: The night before: We were just standing around and Desiree was sharing some of her poetry. (Which is AMAZING) by the way!) Then a couple more friends shared some of their writing. I wanted to share something too so I frantically put pen to paper and wrote a poem.  My friends seemed to love it - but they had to say that as they are my friends! End:The night before


Here is said poem:

Rebirth

I met you a long time ago

in my dreams in the dark

you were calling to me...

I saw you and my heart stopped,

There you were

as you appeared in my dreams.

Scared and in awe was I .

How could I know what was in store for me

That fateful night

When you touched me 

I could feel your cold skin

send shivers of ice down my spine

and yet it was hot like fire.

Slowly you took me in your arms

Barely a whisper you spoke in my ear,

"You will be mine."

Then your breath on my neck

It was if time stood still then

a bite was all. 

I could feel my life slipping away

but yet 

I was not scared

To the brink of death you took me

And then a

Taste of blood on my lips

I was reborn into the night.

The poetry circle just kind of looked at me funny. I guess I should have told them Dakk is a Vampire. LOL

Time to dust off the pollen off this old blog of mine and catch you all up!

I get so many things I want to say here then, of course, with my brain, I forget to write them out. One of the bad things about being a Dakk. LOL 


One item is that I have become a part time vampire. I know, I know... Sad isn't it. I haven't left my clan or anything, and on Face Book we still play exchange the Vampire Candy (It drives my RL relatives NUTS!)  Hey you all can come and visit me there too! LOL I am all over the internet you know! Just look for dakk_mcdunnough or various forms there of. 


One really exciting thing is that I have started making fun and fanciful clothes and what nots! The name of the line is ... get this...it is so original you won't believe it... Dakk Attack!  LMAO.  So I made a group for it call Dakk Attack as well it is free to join I will be working on getting the basics in but when I am done I will be sending out notices for new items, hunts, and group gifts!  My current and only location is on a new sim named Moon Rose Cove.  


I have been out of  SL for a few days. My power cord on the lap top went the way of broken laptop cords where ever that may be. I hope to be in tonight some time. I say hope because while I was using hubs laptop (I could use it for mail and stuff like that - could not install SL) I logged into NetFlix and am absolutely hooked on the 1967 soap opera Dark Shadows.  It is that temporary Vampire in me. Oh Barnabas if only you were a GOOD looking Vampire I would be your Josette! OK, off to try to finish the second season. I will try not to start the 1990s revival of the show.  giggle

Strike a POSE!

Greetings Everyone!

Today I write on something very important in my second life. Something that I have come to love with all my heart. That is Poses. I can't help it, I am addicted to them! I have to collect them, the more I have of them the more I want! I especially love poses that come with Props!

This NEED that I have had me running around like a crazy woman, (ok, ok, so I AM a crazy woman), it had me running around like a chicken with my head cut off, looking for pose stores. Do you know it is almost impossible to find all the pose stores out there? How many wonderful pose makers there are that do not get noticed? Oh my goodness!! I had no idea until I found a godsend the day I tripped over this wonderful group called Pro Posers!  They have a coalition of pose-makers of the highest caliber all under one roof so to speak.

You really need to join this group if you are a photographer, builder, or like me - are just pose crazy!  You can be notified when a pose-maker has a new release, sale or sometimes you receive little gifties! Believe me, you will be very happy joining this group! Even before they gave us more than 25 groups I would always make sure I kept Pro Posers!

Right now, Until February 15, 2011, Proposers Group is holding its 3rd Grid Wide Pose Hunt! There are around 50 pose makers participating! I have started the hunt myself and it is very fun, challenging AND the poses are wonderful!The hunt is sponsored by  BOSL, AVENUE, SCULPTZ, MANIERA, ICON, MOOLTO, RADAR, OK, E STYLE & SECONDLIGHTS.

Visit http://proposerssecondlife.blogspot.com/ for the Proposers Hunt Hints List and to join their blog and in SL make sure you join the PRO POSERS Group.

HURRY! HURRY!  We only have 25 days to finish the hunt!
