Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
~Anais Nin

For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
~Nietzsche

The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.
~William Wordsworth

EndQuote:
We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.
~Virginia Satir

Prewritten: spindle, frail

~Dharmie: PW for 8/4

She continued her later days way up in the tower sitting on her frail wooden bench that had been in the family for years, weaving and creating with yarn, spindles, and the love she had in her heart for her late husband, Charlie.

At 87 years old, Nancy felt both fulfilled and that her life had held meaning.

Impromptu: chaos, pipe

~MissMerry: MM Impromptu

An ember glows red
smoke curls in twisting spirals
chaos drifts away.

Outside my bubble
the world distantly rumbles
Is there some cake left?

~Piffin: “Angelingus”

Those boys
With their engines ‘tween their legs
Those boys
With their engines ‘tween their legs
Those boys
With their engines ‘tween their legs
On a hot summer night
Don’t do it
They don’t do it
For me
Those girls with their pipes chock full o’ regs
Those girls
With their garden party kegs
Those girls
Shape novenas into begs
When they’re down on their knees
When they’re down on their knees
Let it be
Diddle diction
Interdiction
Cunning chaos
Liquid licktion
Spittle spelling
My affliction
Fact my fiction
Heal my sicktion
Tock my ticktion
Tock my ticktion
‘Splosion
Glee
