party piece
we are all dying more or less
in body in spirit
slaves to a process
not bitter or malign
but limitless
each moment each decade
unrolls in the shadow of the scythe
we laugh cry caress
doomed enough for ones so blithe
blithe enough for ones so doomed
revellers on a runaway train
exultant into the night
in body in spirit
slaves to a process
not bitter or malign
but limitless
each moment each decade
unrolls in the shadow of the scythe
we laugh cry caress
doomed enough for ones so blithe
blithe enough for ones so doomed
revellers on a runaway train
exultant into the night

Amazing - you are a genius!
...and so - then you come to visit me and have to be confronted with a mangled sentence that had no meaning. (I went back and made repairs)
Awful - when you think that I just got through telling hubby that you just DID NOT make mistakes. Commas in their proper places, sentence structure sublime....
Oh the agony!
Hubby did say that since it was your business he cerainly hoped all your commas were inserted properly and I should quit beating up on myself.
Have you read any Richard Russo??(speaking of sublime sentence structure)
Adrienne, I've promised you a cheerful poem. This wasn't it!
Richard Russo I have not yet read.
But I did see Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair.

He was awarded the 2002 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for Empire Falls and his newest book is Bridge of Sighs. (He has a bunch of others)
I was actually distracted by his great writing when I read Empire Falls. It is so seldom one runs across someone who writes that well.
Don't fret for cheerful. You just write what's in your heart......
Oh THAT Robert Russo!
