oh! K-Fucked!(KFKD) Thanks, Anne Lamott, for the name for the thing almost all writers know.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

What is even happening?
Allyson, do you have a piece that serves as a real companion to your Safe Harbor from Ann Arbor piece? A full flesh out of your Escape to L.A.?
Because I've found myself wondering about that. It shows up in drips and dabs in other essays, but I still want to know how you did it.
Seconded.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
New drabble topic!
Challenge #111 (comfort food) is now closed.
Challenge #112 is poetry. I *don't* mean that you should write a poem (though you may) -- rather, drabble *about* poetry, for whatever definition(s) of "poetry" you might embrace.

Daffynition
Images swirling
Thoughts unfurling
Rhythm flowing
Cadence growing
Emotions singing,
echoing, ringing
Symbols layered
clashing, wayward.
Words in heady mixtures
worth a thousand pictures.
In small , a whole world explore,
Or what else is a meta for?
Art for art’s sake: ignore the reader?
No, for heard melodies are sweeter.
Else as you fill up your reams,
Each strangled melody silently screams
As it rots inside the drawer
never to see a different shore.
Speak or whisper, murmur or shout
Flame, ice, peat, or winds pout
All of this in one endeavor
Glimpsed for an instant, then captured forever

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
True story:
META/CHIRP
"Nicky said what?"
"That I can't be a poet without writing an ode to a skylark." I'm shopping with Kate, in Sausalito. "Bastard."
"I know that look." Kate's grinning. "Spill!"
"Harken, skylark in the tree", I recite. "Singing there so loud and free
singing as I mutter 'DIRTY
FRICKIN' BIRD, it's 7:30!
I did not get HOME 'til 3!'"
"HA!" Kate's snickering. "Perfect!"
"There's more." I'm grinning back. "Wanna hear?"
"Hell yes."
"Harken, skylark in the tree
singing there so loud and free
singing loud as any sparrow
I will shoot you with my arrow
then, perhaps, will silence be!"

"Yup that was a hundred words all right."
"That is definitely a drabble."

Hey, did you write that just now, or have you had it, TB?

Just now. It is easy to write poetry quickly when you have exactly zero talent as a poet, cause there is no point in trying to make it something great.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Typo and I share thoughts on writing poetry.
And we didn't even know it. Tee.
