Polter, that reminds me a little of 13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird. Very nice.
edit: I'm not really awake yet. All these drabbles are impressive. I joined the community but haven't come up with a thing. I seem to be in visual mode these days.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
But how well you are expressing yourself visually--or expressing others, I might should say, since I'm one of the beneficiaries. Still, waiting for words. Liese, you should know I reacted to the words only, since I didn't know you were you at the time. How's that for impartial?
I love Haiku. Can't write them for spit, but I love them.

Thanks. I don't know that one. Who's it by?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I love haiku, and can write them, but the ones I write never feel solid to me. My brain seems to want to treat writing them the way it treats writing limericks.
edited because my typing and tenses are all screwy right now.

Heh. How it all comes round.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird is by Wallace Stevens, mild-mannered insurance salesman by day, poet by night.

Hm. Interesting. I don't really see the connection, but being compared to Wallace Stevens isn't ungood.
Oh! There was that time the blackbirds got baked into a pie, and you can drink wine with pie. Or something.

Wondering if the connection isn't the linear nature of the thing point (or vignette) A, on to B, etc.

I really liked those, Poltercow, much better than, you know, looking at cherry blossoms and like that.

I'm not sure what the connection is. I should have said, perhaps, that it engendered a similar feeling in me.
