Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions which move with him like flies on a summer day.
~Bertrand Russell

The clouds may drop down titles and estates, and wealth may seek us, but wisdom must be sought.
~Edward Young

The cloud never comes from the quarter of the horizon from which we watch for it.
~Elizabeth Gaskell

EndQuote:
Revelations are found in clouds.
~Serge Kahili King

Glass Table Edition:

Tribute Band ~ Piffin

The morning breaks and I watch the rain
Then go to bed when I’m bored with pain
It’s not the outcome that I disdain
It’s the way that it all seemed such fun
I want to be in a tribute band
I want to kill with these idle hands
I want to be one who understands
A thing or two that I’ve done
I heard a song on the radio
I heard a song on the radio, once
I heard a song on the radio
On the radio, once
I forget how it goes

I had a notion to cut the strings
Then I got caught up in other things
I hear the church bell, the song it sings
And recall when it used to ring true
I need to go where the wild things grow
I need to know what the wild things know
I need to know that the end of this show
Won’t be one more cold, “Who are you?”
I heard a song on the radio
I heard a song on the radio, once
I heard a song

I heard a song

I want to be in a tribute band

Prewritten: outlaw, tantalize

~Greymane: untitled

She swore she’d have a privileged life of upper crusted ease
She’d tempt the boys with curvy parts to tantalize and tease
She made her way to riches on the backs of those she hurt
She’s not so much an outlaw as a greedy extrovert
