Ars Poetica - by Lily

Sip Baby Sip

April 16th 2007 06:34
T'was a dark and stormy night, and not a sound could be heard.

All the creatures in Ordinaryville huddled together, no stirrings in the night. In the light of a rice paper lantern, is a feisty woman, speaking of strings and strength, and circling a spoon into her big pot of life.

the drift was broken
and a cigarette lit

sip baby sip

calm the voices
and lay with me

minds are strong
and hearts are weak
or is it
the other way around?

maybe the green frog knows
we'll ask him
next time he hops by

with his
first time on tv
look

Oh. Wow.



Damn ~Lily...please don't take this the wrong way but... I had forgotten what a magician you are with words.

You don't make things disappear.
You make them appear.

I really love this.
It is so visual.

I mean...I can hear the silence.

Is that weird?

...love this....

I'm not sure why, but the frog in this is really jumping out at me.... Kleo mentioned frog the other day so I posted its meaning, and frog was mentioned in Tae Kwon Do class tonight... and so the frog here leaps out yet again.... Hmm.

Love the imagery in this.

As for the ::: ::: - I honestly don't know what they mean. It's either *grins* or ::grins::, but I don't know why. It's just a habit I've developed... I have no reason for it... it just is. :::grins::: See? *giggles*

Wendi,

I love frogs, they have special meaning for me of late.. most hardy creatures, not appealing to the eye for most, but i think they're adorable ....smiles....:

those :::::'s bring movement to a word, me thinks...

be well Miss Wendi,
~Lily
