Love the looseness of this, reminds me of e.e.cummings. Love having fun w/words. Still waiting to buy a book of your poetry someday, De!
Aren’t we all…
Awwww. Thanks, Ladies. 🙂
It’s even more fun with all the colors intact!
I wish I had read this earlier in the day; perhaps my mood would have survived. At present, it has gone to bed, although I am still awake. Beware, I warn you: I can’t be held responsible for the poetry I write. I am not myself today. Is today even today?
Crazy about these:
“let’s adjective something absurd”
“Let’s stick our words together with bubble gum,
……………………………………….and write our poems with our thumbs.”
See all those periods? (Or extended ellipses, if you will)…you cutty-pastied my lines, and they showed up black again. Those periods were white. That’s my little spacing secret. Hope it works for you!
SO sorry rough day. I love your dark stuff, so no worries there…but wish joy for your mama’s heart.
This was SO fun to read, De!! Always bringing a smile, thank you!
Lovely fun! 🙂
