The Maker is on a roll. Clearly the train theme from earlier in the week is still running, but today he’s responding to the three-day deluge with humor and creativity.

Just like if your riding a trian,
Umbrellas keep you from the sun,
When your having so much fun,
Small umbrellas can go in a drink,
Even if if your toes are Pink.

Just for the record, my toes are not pink. They are Siberian Nights. That’s purple, with cloud cover.

This heinous sheet of notebook paper should have been buried to prevent future outbreaks, but my mother kept it, [...]

Four Love Poems

December 1, 2007

I’ve just started Love’s Labour’s Lost (imagine! A Shakespeare comedy with no weddings in it!) and it has put me on a love poetry reading jag. Emily Dickinson got me going with this one (c. 1880), so apropos of LLL: We shall find the Cube of the Rainbow. Of that, there is no doubt. But [...]
