Snorers all scattered world-wide in offices and homes in boardrooms and bedrooms; O Snorers all loud and clear low and shrill - listen ye to the loud wake-up call as from Rip Van Winkle's Snore stand up united and drown the howl of protests against snoring that is surely no less divine than the Chorus of Angels in Heaven - for the great God who made the Aurora no doubt also conceived of the Divine Snore! and so, stand up, ye sonorous Snorers! unite! I call unto ye! unite against the detractors and the critics and the complainants and those of low culture who cannot lie still and listen to Snoring as one rightly would at a concert hall listening to the delightful play of a quartet of violins O how long will you take it lying down, ye blessed Snorers of the World? let the world know the first divine music was indeed the Snore; and the very height of human communication is the unabashed snore for all other modes of communication lead to mis-communication but the language of the snore is always exact and crisp! the message of the Snore always precise! the meaning always loud and clear! and the very height of the snore (let us declare to the world) is the couple in bed snoring away together beside each other making such divine music making love with the rolling thunder of snores so that one might say: *do we have a couple of wild boars copulating in the next room?* stand up, O Snorers of the World - and defy the mockers and those who seek divorce on grounds of insufferable Snoring; stand up against those who sue for loss of sleep from friendly, neighborly Snorers; stand up now against these losers, these whingeing nags uncouth and untutored in the mysteries of the art of the Snore! stand up and with one loud blast of a universal Snore, with one melodious Snore let us drown their dissenting voices, their unprovoked cacophonous complaints! stand up, Snorers young and old! unite, Snorers black, white and gold! defy the world! O ye Snorers of quite nights and of lazy days: let us overwhelm the world with the pleasing symphony of Snores; let us bless the ears of the world with the dulcet streams of varied notes and arias! stand up! unite! - O much-maligned Snorers of the World! with one voice raised in a triumphant Snore let us declare: *No longer will we be silent!

A hollow ‘hello’ from Hell! Yes, from Hell. Where do names come from? This Hell is a sleepy fishing village and the best spot that we’ve found on Hollow Head, a Sleepy Hollows, so to speak. We are in the ‘Bridegroom’, a little Bed and Breakfast, run by a Rip Van Winkle wise enough to know it was Empedocles who jumped into Mount Etna. Empedocles! Is my face red! Yet it will glorify my pronoun to perfection—‘he jumps’. Yes, both poetry and philosophy ought to have the same antecedent. They forge a world that’s capable of consciousness. The self, per se, remains vestigial— the voice of the volcano, not its source. Your pronoun is the antecedent, not your noun. Problematic resolved. Perhaps I will go for a walk in Hell, perhaps I will take the air, take the breezes. A wonderful day in Hell! Ha-ha!

I've got my Rip Van Winkle on I've got my dreams all packed Now all that is need be A shady spot to lay my head One that is unmoving That will be around for years When roaming the halls of slumber Time is the first thing that is missed I sit back as I relax With a good book in hand I commence to yawning hard Enter stage left...Sandman I've got my Rip Van Winkle on The rest is history I'll see you all around sometime But only in my dreams

Rip Van Winkling
Her husband presented her a very long blue saree Since she has been using it for ages it has many white patches hither and thither... When he roared in anger striking her with a (f)lash She'd use her grey saree and weep bitterly... Her s(u)on would often come and go He'd give her a reddish orange saree in which she looks dazzling... Her daughter'd visit her in the night with thousands of her grand children At the time she'd wear a black saree She'd narrate them many stories they'd listen curiously with winkle...

Now, here's the story of Rip Van Winkle The true story, not the lie They always want to hide the truth I'll just never understand why You see, Rip Van Winkle was married To a woman, who always nagged And that poor dude was bored all the time Cause his internet always lagged So, he climbed up in his recliner And decided to take a little nap When, out of the blue, the Sleeping Spider Went and crawled up in his lap Now, Rip knew about that spider But still, he just couldn't resist For if he let that spider bite him They'd be no "honey do" list Well, that spider sunk his fangs in Then jumped back on the floor It wasn't long, Rip closed his eyes And man, that guy could snore Now, a wicked smile even crossed his face As he leaned back in his chair For, when he awoke, she'd would be gone But Rip, just simply didn't care Well a hundred years just flew by And his wife was surely dead But when he finally opened his eyes She lay beside him in the bed She awoke while still clutching "The list" for a hundred years For the spider had bitten her also And it brought the man to tears But this story has a happy ending Cause dial-up was a thing of the past They decided to finally get broadband And his internet was fast at last

"R.I.P." The Rip Van Winkle Story
Open up, Eyes I've given you the prize to see again. Darkness. Let me feel you with my fingertips Okay good, but dear doesn't anyone have a light in here? Darkness Get up, feel around. This place seems familiar. Look up, look down Figures become linear Darkness Click! There it is. Man, I should have cleaned the place Oh, and everything is just where I left it Great! Rusty orange, forest green Common colors that I'm used to seeing. Look to my left Bingo! There's John, Paul, George, and Ringo Take a step creak creak creak Floorboards never cease to make a squeak Open the door, what do you see? So much more than before I went to sleep. Darkness What's that there? Medicare? The UNITED states? What is this place? So much for us coming together. I wonder if it had not been better if I had slept forever? Darkness Change is constant. Diamonds are litter. The warm and sweet now cold and bitter. Streets swarmed with people wearing collars of blue, wait a minute.. Our president is black too? Darkness Hollowed eyes, Songs without melody Selfish men disguised as hearts with harmony. Arrogance, ignorance Obliviousness, incompetence In this future I shall only reminisce. Oh, what did I miss? Darkness Slaving like slaves, working like elves. This is not what I wished before 2012. It's the end of evolution but lets find a substitution! Oh won't anyone help me look? No even a trace? Not even a sprinkle? I'm living the life of Rip Van winkle. Darkness Man oh man, nothing's changed And i used to think ****** was deranged. So much for coming together. I wonder if it had not been better if I had slept forever?

Van Winkle
Hard to believe it was 18 Years ago, 1998. Waiting that long to make love is an unfortunate fate. A July rain awakens the sleeping nymphs’, Like old Rip Van Winkle, a yawn & stretch those limbs Clawing their way out of an earthen cocoon, Metamorphous begins by the light of the moon. An electric buzz fills the West Virginia holler, Charlie Cicada says “Connectin’ with them females is the problem” And not long after… a loving relationship is bequeathed, For the less fortunate, the brown trout waits beneath the Sycamore for a tasty treat. Well there you have it; such is the life of the Brood Cicada, And for new born nymphs’, it’s time to go sleep until the next Mania. K.E. Carman 2016

Would Rip van Winkle wake up to this or go back to sleep and give it a miss? What would he see? an abundance, a rag tag of poverty. A land full of **** all with a mountain of knowalls and a system blocked up with the system that's **** Well, we'll give him some time to get his head around it and realise that the world has moved on more than a bit, then we'll slam him with fees,because no one can rest as they please in this land fit for **** all.

.                                    {a parable of celebrity}                                 . Ol' Rip [died January 19, 1929];    was a horned lizard commonly referred to as a horned toad,  or ***** toad, whose supposed 31-year hibernation as an entombed animal is believed by some and doubted by others. His name is a reference to the fictional character Rip Van Winkle. In 1897, a horned lizard was placed in a cornerstone of the Eastland County Courthouse in Eastland, Texas along with other time capsule memorabilia. When the courthouse was torn down 31 years later, the cornerstone was opened on February 18, 1928, a live horned lizard was produced, allegedly from within the time capsule.      The lizard became a celebrity, and went on tour, even being taken to Washington, D.C. to meet President Calvin Coolidge. Ol' Rip died eleven months later, and his remains are on display in the new Eastland County Courthouse.            In 1973 the body was stolen and an anonymous letter explained that the finding of Ol' Rip alive had been a hoax and demanded other unnamed co-conspirators come forth. When no one did,                     another letter was received saying the coffin and body could be found in the county fairgrounds. The coffin was found there and returned to the courthouse.

Took a nap to while away the dull day only to wake after one hundred years A long nap indeed he found the world to be a strange place not really his place from what I've heard he would feel the same had he been awake.

Rip Van Winkle
Universal unction A beatific box Friction in the function A tutorial. A talk. We winnowing the worship We wiser for to seek Here harrowing through Hardship We winkle out the "weak". How holy is the hilltop Which cannot help at all How horrible the House of Pride Which cannot help but FALL. Please pray for persecution Let them not stay their hand GOD BLESS the repercussions! The ground on which to stand. I beg that I won't barter Without nor yet within I pray that I won't falter I'll stand against the sin. For the Church as it emerges From underneath the waves Surfeit in the surges Gamboling in her grave Wreaks havoc on true holiness Divides doctrine "uncouth" Gutting out the Bible Laying waste the TRUTH! The "Universal Union" "All for one, and one for all" "All roads lead to Rome" How the mighty fall! There are, in truth, just 2 roads At the tolling of the bell. The narrow to eternal life... ... *and the broad road straight to HELL.* SøułSurvivør (C) 10/31/2017

Delineating the Divine
I wish I could sleep. Days on end an endless cycle no waking at all. Maybe when I'd wake up the world would change to something better I'd be better. I wish Rip Van Winkle would give me advice I can't seem to sleep even if I try. It makes me feel worse the fact when I am awake the people I love are just asleep. They are not conscious While I am stuck alert Not knowing why I can't just sleep. Sleeping for a long while would be a gift to me Not waking every few hours like a newborn child. If I did sleep for a time I wonder what I'd miss I fear I'd miss so much Wake up and everything gone I know it's strange Unusually sad I wish to sleep But fear time passing I hate waking in the middle of the night I hate sleeping when I'd miss everything The conundrum of it all Fearing sleep yet need it I must sleep. Wish me luck.

To sleep or not to sleep
Sands sparkling Green bubbly seaweed draped over a rock Salt lines marking A washed up gentleman’s flip flop. Sweet wrappers, remains of tea leaves in plastic cups Half eaten jam sandwiches for the sea gulls to peck Deck chairs stacked neatly in rows and stripes Boats desperately in need of a repair check. The same old flag a flying over an outgoing tide Cockle hunters and winkle pickers knee deep in slush Jellied eels, don’t know how that came about Children with “kiss me quick” hats in a mad rush. Trays of stewed tea once again frog marched by dads Buckets and spades sold in the thousands to Cute frilly bathed girls and” got to dig deeper” lads! Grandparents with knotted hankies on their heads Stockings rolled down to reveal white shiny knees “just sit there Grandma, don’t say a word” I’ll bring you lollies and trays of sandy, luke warm teas. At the end of the day, the beach was an art form Displaying hundred of castles and stylish shapes of sand It brought prosects of a healthy red skinned glow To return home thinking you were tanned. You’d had a good day at the beach, and now you’re done in Just relax now with your pint of beer, bingo to look forward to A handful of fish and chips and screaming kids to quieten Dreaming of tomorrow, another day on the beach to get through.

The Beach
everything about you makes me want to caress every crevice of your skin, learn every winkle and imperfection in your distraught face. your eyes speak wonders to those of the untold caverns you dig in your inner most sanctuaries. Although your sanctuaries bring the only hurt your body will ever feel you treasure them like they're detrimental to your being. how horrifyingly beautiful it is to see your current state of mind. How it seems the devils touch ran through your veins. You've turned so horribly evil and it's riveting. I love all of your ****** up tendencies and it amazes me how beautiful you actually are. Through every scar of your skin and every droughty word that flows from your mouth. Infected with poison, and every touch to your lips. Needing more of the morphine your blood draws. you drank my feelings like it's the only thing you know how to do. you're so dangerous and I love it. I adore the dangerous nature of your actions. your presence is enough of a mystery to keep me attracted to the lights in your dim eyes. Beautifully simplistic.
