Ha-hah!
An appropriate "captcha", Gene.
Well,there won't be any fermenting of my olde carcass … it will end as ash. I like the word "fermenting", though, as it brings to mind the fizz, foam, and froth of beer, as bizarre as the thought of "body beer" is … oh-MY!
Now, talk about mind bending, this is the epitome of abstract poetry to wrap our grey cells around. But, considering the "premise" ; ) of reincarnation, it makes perfect sense … LOL!
Almost, a Senryu, with the exception of L2, but that can be easily remedied with an "of".

I like the way your mind works, Gene … you're every bit as weird as me, if not weirder! ⁓ Richard : )


(a 90 for this one, due to the missing "of", or whatever you come up with … love the title, too)

how did i miss that?!! thanks so much sir! will fix it right away ... and thank you for noticing the captcha ..funny how those things ring appropriate so many times ... the fermenting of beer ... now that touches on a very close note with me...my younger daughter came to visit and for Father's Day brought me a gift of a beer making kit .. just this morning I watched the video provided online and have read the instructions once ..so i am just about ready to make the leap ... not to the grave my friend ... not until fermentation is complete ;) great comments my friend ... thanks so much! now let me see if i can fix that little glitch to my liking

Well Dang Richard and Gene... I sure am not gonna ask you two what's brewing? Have I really been away so long that everyone is fermenting? However... I am correcting you both... There will be no Resurrecting. Have you not heard the song? " In Heaven there is no Beer" That means No Fermentors or Formenting Allowed :-)

[Einstein Noodle]

last Sunday i bottled my first batch of beer ..it sits now patiently in the dark cool cellar for 2 wks or so...at which time i WILL resurrect it ...fermenting accomplished ... and i will tilt the first one to you Cry Baby! ...and yes...you are gone too long in my books

[Cryingkate]

Oh Wow Granny Clampet would be as proud as I am.. I can't wait till testing time. Good Job ! I miss you guys too. Last year was a Tough one. I lost my Sister and My dog. I can't seem to digest it yet. But I'm working hard.. i wish I was close enough when taste testing come.

[Einstein Noodle]

i'm so sorry for your losses Kate :( i wish you were close as well ... but i will think of you first as i open that first bottle ..have to admit i am a little scared about it .. i went to Caracas, Venezuela way back in '66 or so and i brought back a bottle of wine and put it away with the romantic notion of opening it when married .. on my honeymoon night (about 12 yrs later) i did just that ...aging did not do good things to this bottle of wine ..it was pretty much pure vinegar from the taste and smell of it .. :} but we had a good laugh about it ..didn't need the liqueur anyway ...it wasn't that long afterward my first daughter was born ;)

[Cryingkate]

What a cute Story.... Did you use it in salad as vinegar?

[Einstein Noodle]

:) aaaaaaaa that would be a no ... wish i had thought of that though .. might have worked ... ;)

[Richard]

Okay you two,
Take it to the messaging, or get a room … LOL!

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha good morning Richard ... looks like its three for salad :))))

[Cryingkate]

The voice seems to call to us, to those places that once held life, now in decay. There is a blending of the past and the now, the birthing world and the world of the last fragments of us that remain. Profoundly moving.

[Einstein Noodle]

thank you for your insightful review and kind words owl ... its very gratifying that this one moved you ...

What an excellent layered series of thoughts came from this. Hermetic is what it is.

[Einstein Noodle]

always honored by your visits my friend .. thank you for your sensitive reading of this senryu .. it is a remarkable foible of pride that makes us neglect such a blaring truth eh!?
E.
ps. now i must refresh myself on hermetic thought and practices ;) thanks again Ken
