Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted In The Grove:
When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
~Patrick Rothfuss

Don’t you find it odd,” she continued, “that when you’re a kid, everyone, all the world, encourages you to follow your dreams. But when you’re older, somehow they act offended if you even try.”
~Ethan Hawke

When humans were young, they were pushed around in strollers. When they were old, they were pushed around in wheelchairs. In between, they were just pushed around.
~Tom Robbins

EndQuote
It’s paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn’t appeal to anyone.

Prewritten Exercise for Thurs 05/16:  blink, snare

Prewritten:   froth, reflect

~BarTalk:
but which

pristine stillness
of the reflecting pool
free of ripples
at peace with itself
no need for rules

teeming fertile froth
a raft of pond scum
mosquitoes and tadpoles
five carp three ducks
heaven and earth
but which

Science Of Love

Heady spoon-thick cappuccino froth
Two fragile bubbles foamed of love
Empty notions on ready tap
Facing mirrors reflect on both
And with their doubled image prove
Infinity times nothing
‘Tis no fertile broth
Graphs to zero on the map

seaside to decide
salty froth or sally forth
tidal pools reflect
~
saloon mirror glows
reflects dance hall girls on stage
makes me beer froth up
