Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
To the question: How do the authors of sketches, stories and novels get along in life, the following answer must be given: They are stragglers and they are down at heel.
~Robert Walser

Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.
~Jules Renard

It’s a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.
~W H Auden

EndQuote
Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be start his own religion.
~L Ron Hubbard

Different Times

The Times, postponed deadlines waiting their headlines
Political constructs, financial rankings, the social makeup
It’s not plunging necklines but a late market take-off
Not rising hemlines but losses for a  pre-tax rake-off
~
Sensuous after sensual
From hoarding bills to the cents you will
Your scions and the common sense you kill
The times you had but the end’s eventual
~
Remembering times when love was true and sex was simple
Times of uncertainty a face full of pimples
Olden times when sex pegged in either sin or sacred
Twas more fun when skin was sin and being naked
~

Littorally

A great grey heaving whale
A failed lunge for the orange sun
‘Ere its plunge back into blue
Found in the makeup of that white light
That writer’s white lies want to be read
~

road map

believe the commercials
pattern after celebrity
plunge into seas of uncertainty
trowel on the makeup
overdress to impress
underdress does it best
add a dash of sneer to the eye
arrive

divorce finally
a last hope lunge for freedom
ends quest to make up
