the good life

writhing- one of my favorite words; makes me wish i could slither

I reside on the dark side of the moon

and drink from a glass half-there

I eat from a silver spoon

and walk on water when not floating on air. 

 

I live in a house on a hill

just down the street from the School of Hard Knocks

the green house with the red windowsills

the purple plum trees and the big box

 

garden where my veggies grow

and where i spend my days in admiration

of Hedra and the way she so

elegantly embroiders her contemplations,

words writhing on the page like Ivy on a red brick wall.

oh, IVY!!!!!

She is elegant . . . and wildly talented. I reside on the dark side of the moon sometimes, trouble is I'm so darned tongue tied my ramblings are not too eloquent.

This is awesome. One of my favorite poems of all time is Poe's 'The Conqueror Worm.' It writhes, it writhes. oh, yes.
