Quoted in the Grove:
Men are often capable of greater things than they perform. They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
~Horace Walpole
Your voice dries up if you don’t use it.
~Patti Page
Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except the best.
~Henry van Dyke

~Papadruid: Slow Quatrain Coming
They called her miss prissy
Her speech, was soft and hissy
But her mouth, was perfect so
She always delivered, the ultimate “O”

Impromptu: fishhook romance
~Piffin: Hardly even me
I know you didn’t ask for it
In fact, you don’t ask much at all
But we stood
Hand in hand
Long enough for us to fall
Bloodletting made me tender
Bloodletting made me tough as nails
But your kiss
And your bandage
Taught me it’s okay to fail
Caught by this fishhook romance
Tangled in this tender line
We swim
And believe
Maybe we still have some time
Maybe we still have some time

~Greymane: Fillet
She set off on her fishing trip with findin’ men in mind
She’d caught her limit years ago but all of them declined
She rowed her boat to stay afloat through whirlpools and squalls
She found the shore had more in store the more the siren calls
She cast her line just one last time and snagged him in the pants
A fresh fillet near got away from fishy hook romance

~MissMerry: MM Impromptu
Bumping along the bottom…
I carry my soul in a cup
recovering from a fish hook romance
I wonder where and how I fucked up
The road seems paved in shards of glass
the destination close at hand
but I can’t go forward or backward
So barefoot and bleeding I stand
