thankful

i am certainly not a poet of robert frost caliber- but i will do my best for thanksgiving :)

roasting turkey browns
exciting conversations
on whose leg it is ;)

circling the drain?

swirling whirlpools dance
ebbing, flowing in rhythm
with life's tidal flow

remember, remember....

one of my favorite movies of all time- i am sure i would have loved the comic too.

one of the best voices

life's journey: brandi carlile- enjoy

and songwriters i have heard in a long time. trust me take the time to take a listen.

how thrilled am i?

i am switching between books right now. i started' the orestian trilogy' by aeschylus and moved on to' the aeneid' by virgil and found i wasn't in the mood for tragedy- so i moved on to yeats ;) he tends towards flowery and it's tough reading- so, i moved on to wordsworth.

yeah- i know. old style poetry is tough to read. but i feel i must in this case because 1) it's nice to focus on real language for a change and not twitterspeak and 2) i have a 1904 cambridge student's edition of his complete works. yep. snagged it on amazon for a song. it smells like an old book. :) love it.

1904- way before isbn and whatnot- so, the cover on the sidebar isn't accurate. not even close :)

loved this line:

In thoughtless gaity I coursed the plain,
And hope itself was all I knew of pain;
For then, the inexperienced heart would beat
At times, while young Content forsook her
seat,
And wild Impatience, pointing upward,
showed,
Through passes yet unreached, a brighter
road.

mmmm.... autumn and poetry tend to go hand in hand :)

autumn showers drench
colored leaves that tumble down
creating carpets

best i could do- having yummy comfort chili :)
