I'm so grateful that you love poetry as much as you do. :)Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-15886479181594491852011-04-05T12:05:19.113-05:002011-04-05T12:05:19.113-05:00How great to have a special month just to delve i...How great to have a special month just to delve into poetry, write poetry, share poetry... But with you, Marion, every month is poetry month--wonderful! This poem is witty, but it ain't no joke! My sister-in-law lives this exact tiptoe life: two chimps, one spider monkey, two parrots, two tortoises, four cats... and you have to be hypersensitive to all their needs! She reads the paper early in the morning by the light of her lighter so she has some time to herself (not waking up the animals). Who has trained whom?! :) Good to know that "bright objects hypnotize the mind!"Margaret Pangerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995968579194433270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-70043792307130878652011-04-05T04:14:21.245-05:002011-04-05T04:14:21.245-05:00Humour and verse combined.
