Eclectic and Eccentric

I am a returning
FanStortrian of
dubious note but
usually in key. I was
a relatively well read
member from late in
2005 until late in 2012.
I left the site in 2012 because
I lost my note pad and
my mind within the same
time-frame. But fortunately
my pad was found in September
of 2017 by my erudite and (he
makes me say this) very hunky cat.
Well, that is Buddy Boy's story but there
was a great deal of what appeared
to be fine grains of mica sand on
the outside cover and even
in-between many of the inside pages.
My hunch is Buddy Boy filched my
pad, hid it under his litter box, and
kept it there for six years. He was never
a fan of easyeverett's poetry and would
always cover his ears when I read a poem
I'd written out loud to Sue for evaluation.
Now Sue says she has liked at least two or
three of the two thousand poems I have scribbled
over a long life but she is a kind and caring woman.
Buddy, however, when speaking about my poems used words like: 'verbose, eccentric, sophomoric, outside everybody's box not just yours, borders on dilettantism, incomprehensible, and often asked me: "Why don't you take some time and reconnect with what you seem to need...or maybe your friends on FS need or maybe what I need. You're looking a little worse for the writing."
Buddy Boy swears he found my note pad inside a large volume of William Blake's great poetic opus entitled
"Paradise Lost" which he was rereading at the time.
I left it at that. My wife insists my mind had escaped its cranial cover long before I thought it was lost. Like in 1970 when she took pity on a recovering 60's summer of love child who she thought was really 'far-out' and since she had just fired the Catholic Church and was
under a 'lost my faith but found my hippie' period, she married me. Not to go any deeper but because of a few things in my life that probably would never have been resolved or confronted, only buried by self-medicating with one or more of my many unique pharmaceutical and beverage combinations invented for...for swallowing. Sue saved my life for good or bad or worse and that is a simple fact and super example and perfect definition of love going both ways at the same time.

During my first poetic journey through
FanStory heaven, I achieved the acquired
the Polar Bear status in 2006 and was, for me,
rather well received by almost a dozen
other writers and poets throughout the
rest of my tenured service to FS. I returned
to FS when I realized that if Sue was correct
about my mind being missing since '70, then
it did not play a part in my exit from the site
in 2012, just an overreaction to the emotional
loss of my note pad. Below is an old profile which
has too much bio and not enough about this site so
skip it if you too have lost your mind or just got bored
reading what you already have struggled to finish. Enjoy FanStory and especially the FanStorian scribes who truly respect the nature and beneficial purpose of artistic effort and endeavors. Good luck to all. easyeverett

I am a formalist poet
who tends toward the
classic poetry of old
but also have a true
fondness for the beat
poets of the fifties and
early sixties.

I write on any subject
that pops or invades
my mind. I review to
improve the prose or
poem I am reviewing.
I utilize the cumulative
knowledge gained by
fifty years of writing for
pleasure and as a professional
medical researcher. I attended
the Writer's Workshop at the
University of Iowa in Iowa City
and after my return from S.E.
Asia I graduated from Stanford
University, located in Palo Alto
California. I now concentrate
on going to bed and getting up.
