Summer
corn, it seems
springs full grown from the ground
to towering heights
and soy leaves
in their months-long dance
sway with the wind and rain
The grub feasts and
the sparrow as well
in shade and brush and dirt
for the summer sun beats relentlessly
sustaining all things
Soliloquy
I would like to think I could be a poet on purpose.
Delivering smooth lines to you convincingly.
Stunning you not with what I said, but how I said it.
But it doesn’t really suit us, talking like that
Surprise!
Carrie is finishing up her school work this week and it was Jenna’s first day on the job, so we threw a surprise party! Well, a surprise for Carrie, anyway; Jenna was in the know. It was a smashing success, filled with cake, ice cream, games, and YouTube videos.
Covers
It feels like a great night for serious, toned-down covers of ridiculous songs (think Alanis Morisset covering My Humps). I posted these to livejournal way back in the day, but here they are again.
