handprints

I love
the little blue handprints
on my new pink shirt,
from the little hug she gave me
after we played with chalk.

because i don't really know what to write

i thought i'd tell you one of the things that cracks me up:

clean tights.

i know that sounds weird, but if you pull a pair of clean, wrinkly, tan, staticy panty hose out of your drawer and hold them up by the waste it is really quite a comical sight. they remind me of chicken legs... i don't know why.

poetry

rolling, rumbling, ringing through my head
rolling like a rubber ball
rumbling like a thunder drum,
ringing, ringing, ringing a melody of little bells
like music being sung
like music being sung
never ending
in all i see
lines
soft
hard
curves
bumbs
valleys
lights
bright
shadows
poetry
everywhere.

hold on one minute, i just have one more strawberry to cut up.

I like the way yellow lettuce
crunches
under my knife and
jumps
when I cut hard

and

I like the way corn
explodes
off the cob and
pops
into my mouth.

a

The "a" in that
Was by one he has not said
But what I have will be this-
The "a" was not, but all.






(I'm pretty sure I wrote this...I know that's a silly thing to say, but I have know idea how I came up with it, or what it's supposed to mean [so don't ask], or when I wrote it, or anything.)

curtains

There is something
very poetic
about
white curtains
blowing in the evening
wind-
the way the sun
lights up the
room
and the
wind
makes the curtains
bulge
and I feel the
cool breeze
on my
feet-
it reminds me of poetry.

I love words!

Some of my favorites:

Saltation-(n) 1.the act of leaping or jumping, 2.dance

Kerfuffle- (n) disturbace or fuss

Purfle- (v) to finish with an ornamental border

Quaggy- (a) 2. soft or flabby

Mugwump- (n) 1. a person who is unable to make up their mind about something, esp. politics

Sesquipedalianism- (a) 1. given to using long words (i'm sorry, i have no idea how to pronounce this one. :))

Lugubrious- (a) mournful, dismal, gloomy

Foofaraw- (n) 1. excessive or flashy ornamentation or decoration, 2. a fuss over a matter of little importance

Exculpate- (v) 1. to clear from alleged fault or guilt

Pukka- (a) authentic, genuine

Appellation- (n) the word by which a person or thing is called or known

Fillip- (v) 1. to strike with the nail of a finger snapped from the end of the thumb, 2. to tap or strike smartly (yes, my dear friends, "to fillip" means "to snap"...isn't that just amazing!)


Words are pretty much the best.

time

Tick-time flies, life passes, the world spins, the sun sets
Tock-joy rises, we aspire, sadness falls, hope crashes
Tick-life is given, smiles spread, death steals, tears flow
Tock-life is short, death comes fast, don't waste time

typos

I constantly type wronga nd proabaly use the backsapace button more than the avutal letters keys, so for this post i decided to not ust the backespace button at all tso you all can see how many mistakes a i make while tiyping (unlss of coruse i spell somethign bad by accident, hehe). i hope yo ucan still read this. :) i thoguht maybe this would ut down on the mtyme it took to type this but instead it has made it uch harder because i keep tgoing to yhit the backspace buttion tand then remembering that i am trying to not use the backsapce button, which is really rather hard, but i think i have already astablished (read phonetically...sometimes) that ffact (that looks kind of like a sttutter :)). i tyupically don't like mistakes, but sometimes they came be qite comially, like when you spell ""uch" intead of "much", or when y9u pronounce "givens" "jivens" (i did that once-i was frustratted with math :]), those are silly mistakes.
well, folds...this post must come to an end at some point and althoguht i could keep making mistakes for a fbery long time this seems as good a place as any to end...
