In which you wish I’d go back to posting once a week

January 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Feeling writerly, Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, poetry

I’m feeling rather poetic today. Why?

Maybe it’s the view outside my kitchen window:

Thin lavender clouds,
strewn like tattered
throw rugs along a pale horizon.

(Is “throw rug” ever a poetic phrase?)

Or it might be the song that’s stuck in my head:

Trousers loosed,
Abandoned to battle
gravity – beltless.
Imprudent-seeming, you
Speed their journey to earth.

(Not sure what the song is? Hopefully viewing this will clear it up.)

(Sorry/You’re welcome.)

Hey.

You should at least be glad I posted. It’s not like I’ve been doing THAT very often lately.

    Ah, my new theme song…

    Pants on the ground, pants on the ground. Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground.

    Gaaa!

    My kids sing it 24/7… and my son has his pants below his butt most of the time so… “I” should be the one singing it to him! ;)
