peculiar ideas

Life & poetical Thinking

peculiar ideas
waking
up
New purpose

. . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem|commentary is 'nyctograph,' a device invented by Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carrol) to record ideas at night in bed without fully waking up.

Strangely enough, I couldn't find one at Bed Bath & Beyond.

sunday morning

the sunday morning
rustle of the New York Times
across the country

polar axis

One shivers with the Wind,
at the edge of the sunlit stars -

all you have to do
is turn around.

. . . . . . . .

My favorite place for a cappuccino in Seattle on a sunny Sunday summer morning is the terrace of Caffe Umbria ... though you do end up being in a lot of tourist photos of this maple-shaded square.

Then & Now

A large basket
carrying Life
and on each side,
tied like a pair:

Then & Now

The Day,
neatly packed ...
and full of this delightful Sun

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'pannier.'
