P: Pulitzer Prize - I was shocked, shocked that the Pulitzer board did not award a Fiction Prize this year. What? My Zoo World by Joanne Faries....c'mon, not a winner? not even nominated? What's this world coming to?
Purple - great color and what better book to read than Harold and the Purple Crayon? Now that's a classic.
Poetry - To have great poets, there must be great audiences, too - Walt Whitman
The best craftsmanship always leaves holes and gaps ... so that something that is not in the poem can creep, crawl, flash, or thunder in - Dylan Thomas
an original poem:
Tools to Trade
nefarious needle nose pliers
defy manipulation
like wielding chop sticks
clumsy hands contort
hammer never hits the nail
random finger mashed
polka dotted wall signals
unlevel level usage
left-handed skill set
never garnered praise
proof in writing
blue inked smear
Poison P -Puff adder. This venomous snake warns by inflating its body and hissing loudly. It will stand its ground and not flee. Rudyard Kipling books encountered the puff's cousin - the saw scaled viper in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.
