Ash Wednesday ends it
except for that one year we
gave it up for lent
Yes, well we have discussed it extensively. Now I see it can't be any higher - which is a bummer. But I will just paste it into the body of the text in each posting when it gets closer to Christmas. Will be a little more work but it will work out ok...you will see. I won't make it too much larger really. After Christmas I will make up a blog for artwork. It should be fun. I had better go to the Introduce Yourself thread when I find time and introduce myself...that might be nice. Just no time now to do all of this. Went Christmas shopping tonight but mostly done with that now. Thank heaven!
Here's my Haiku ~
Gave it up for lent
Eating yummy chocolate bars
Lusted for caffine
That is a pretty silly one. I am tired....![]()

Think I spelled caffine wrong...oh well....![]()

Lusted for caffeine,
for twenty minutes or less,
then slept the urge off.
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
- John Berryman
Then slept the urge off
Woke up at midnight for drink
The devils sang songs
Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
the whole boatload of sensitive!

The devils sang songs
In the moonlite ancient woods
Whirlwind of witches
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."

Whirlwind of witches
Dance impassioned in night's fire
World's wild with folly

Whirlwind of witches
Smells the burning of their kind
They start their ballet

Hi Toni....that little guy is really funny and weird...where did you find him? I posted my photo larger and it worked. I have been experimenting with it and glad I could get the card in for the holidays. Do you like it. I drew it about 15 yrs ago. I guess it prompted you to use your last line in your Haiku ~
They start their ballet
So wonderous to behold
Motion stills the crowd
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I have to bail out now. I am falling asleep. It is 2:08 here in America EST. I am so tired out I can't keep my eyes open any longer. See you tomorrow! J

And yes! I love your drawing! I draw too, sometimes. Using watercolor pencils. I'm wondering, is your drawing on pencil or charcoal?
Aaannd, Im messing up the Haiku again. My apologies, madame.![]()
Motion stills the crowd
Dancers moved by hate and lies
I fall in your arms
And oh..

I fall in your arms
vulnerable and willing,
gently lay me down

Gently lay me down
In my pooling blood . . . Don't cry,
You'll forget me soon.
“As Kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame . . .”
Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.
You'll forget me soon
See, you do not know my name,
So soon forgotten
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
