Recent Flickr faves. And a poem. Sometimes I favor humor over sentiment. Okay. Almost always.
Variations On A Theme By William Carlos Williams
1
I chopped down the house that you had been saving to live in next summer.
I am sorry, but it was morning, and I had nothing to do
and its wooden beams were so inviting.
2
We laughed at the hollyhocks together
and then I sprayed them with lye.
Forgive me. I simply do not know what I am doing.
3
I gave away the money that you had been saving to live on for the
next ten years.
The man who asked for it was shabby
and the firm March wind on the porch was so juicy and cold.
4
Last evening we went dancing and I broke your leg.
Forgive me. I was clumsy and
I wanted you here in the wards, where I am the doctor!

Hello. I really love your blog: the poems, the pictures and your art.
Greetings from Brazil.

sometimes I wander the halls of cyberspace, bumping into strange creatures, entering endless hallways with multiplying windows, fending off relentless pop-ups, then I find you….I simply don’t know what I am doing, can you tell me how to make your blog a shortcut on my Desktop????
Thx;)
So lately I have been greatly enjoying the blog of Laurie Perry aka crazyauntpurl who wrote “Divorced, drunk and covered in cat hair” and another book, the sequel. She is an LA-ite(?) Los Angelean(?) and owns three cats and has a witty blog and makes me think of you and I wondered if you had heard of her.
Oh you so crazy!
You are amazingly strange and wonderful, but then you know that.

but Mary Ann, I see sentiment in the humor! 🙂
AMEN sister…humor stirs laughter which is considered the best medicine BUT sentiment is usually maudlin emotion, faked or used for manipulation…nothing humorous can come from that!! 😉
