A place to heal with apologies to susanL ![]() So should I buy a big bad house with a secret boudoir and reclining couch where distraught writers could disappear for a week or forever til the ink runs clear and poems dance out the door? Should I have taken my own advice and burrowed my way to a village of mice where a tender youngster could've disappeared for a week or a summer til thoughts ran clear and the fear was healed and repaired? Well I should've, but I didn't and life's unfair. © Kåre Enga [164.152] 07-07-30 THOUGHTS: We could all use a place to get away for awhile. I purchased my copy of Poet's Market 2008 last night (just out) and there are writer retreats mentioned. One is in North Central Wyoming ... nowhere ... ![]() Poet's Market has only 1,600 entries! I haven't read them all yet ... IMAGES: The bus: ice-cold box, my glasses fogging up from the humidity and heat. 9th Street movies: The Big Clock, black and white against a streaked wall; two stars to the south-west over the parking garage tower; dry and calm; people draped over folding chairs and blankets; short sleeves and shorts on the grass; suits-and-ties and ladies-in-hats on the screen; popcorn. 22,539 |
