CommentsMichel Tue, 10 Aug 2010 06:05:34 oh Jeez ! Did I say "like" enough? Please someone tell me I don't always talk like that. Yikes! Tue, 10 Aug 2010 06:30:31 Actually, I thought you all had a lot of interesting things to say. Michel seems to be asking, "Why isn't reality compelling enough on its own?" I think that's a fascinating question, because it isn't quite enough on its own. That's why we tell stories and write poems and make paintings and even take photographs or film ourselves doing ordinary things. We make sense of the world by making it (as Neil Gaiman would say) "story shaped," which the real world isn't. Thu, 12 Aug 2010 06:55:25 Four very poignant, image-laden poems! Sandra, whether or not you can sew, you can put together a poem quite beautifully. Aimee, you are famous now to Red Lion Square! No forgery in your fine work. And Amy and Alex -- velvet voices I could listen to for hours. Leave a Reply | red lion sq.
