Wild Tangents

The busy intersection of reverie and whimsy.

This just in: "A small, obscure Inuit village (that wishes to remain anonymous) is considering using some of the writing of that world-famous poetess, PersonaNonGrata, in their school curricula.  It is said that they wish to inspire the children and teach them the benefits of the written word; this in addition to the traditional arctic skill sets."  Where do these day dreams come from?


20131203_2239 - Imagine...

Imagine that you see a box.
Look inside the box.
Using the best means possible
Take what is in the box and
Place it where it will do the most good.

Think about this for a moment.
How does it make you feel?
If it makes you feel good then
Skip to the last stanza
Otherwise, continue...

Sonic Silence

20131130_0406 - Sometimes we both ask questions, at the same time, that cannot be answered with impromptu drivel or witty exposition.  It's a quandary, really.  In those moments a tender kiss is all that is available to break the sonic silence.

 

Tempus Fugit

20131123_0907 - Lines of thought race to infinity, intersecting where collisions most frequently occur.  Collisions of time, place, and people.  There is no insurance policy that covers random accidents.  No underwriter in nature to provide a reduction of the premium paid for such consequential happenings.

I read once, or it was mentioned as a digression in a class -Harpooning 101? - that fiction suspends disbelief. I can accept that a village board of education might find the written word of benefit to the students. I can stretch and believe the village wanted to remain anonymous. I cannot believe a purveyor of news would honor that request. But, I will try, and like Alice have only five to go.

This piece of work was delightfully entertaining and I am glad I read it. It also gave me three points toward my Junior Woodchuck Review Merit Badge. Ah, just went to four.

this is like peering into the diary of a genius. the quantum scribbles - poetic bursts - and thoughts that allude to something more.
Seems like you're a deep one - and it is odd to me that this gem only has one review. People are afraid to think - I think

Thank you for being 2nd runner up in the mad rush to review my crap, TL. The universe is a big place. It's a difficult task should one wish to smile upon every grain of sand on a beach. I take no offense at my contemporary light house keeper existence. Google drones will deliver me from evil... or perhaps to evil.

I spend most of my life splashing around in the shallows only rarely fluffing my feathers at the prospect of what watches me from beyond that third sandbar where the water is depthless blue and melts against the horizon. And sometimes I vault the gentle surf - pointed for that squall - until my breath runs out and I have to haul out on the beach sputtering...but someday my ability to hold my air will increase and I will dive....Translation: I get bored with my own crap, and the dancing plethora of fluff here. When I spot something different - its like fresh meat to a coyote. I'm on it. And I'm a glutton about it.

Haha! Grrrr, snarl, rip-tear, gulp... lunch by any other name would not taste as satisfying. I see you as a shape-shifter. Dainty garden bird one day, diving cormorant another and then to stand things on-ear, a flesh-eating animal of epic proportaions. It's good to know I'm in the company of other "gluttons." ;-)

[Aunre]

"proportaions" I'm sure that's a legal word somewhere. Please, tell me you will spell-check before committing to brass engraving.

[TL Boehm]

:) yes'm. although - consider the conversation starter impact if I didn't....

[Aunre]

I'd call a vet first.. get a 2nd opinion. Hoof-&-mouth and nostril rash are all the rage these days. You wouldn't want to become too popular too soon. That way lies madness.

Ahhhh so very creative and different...I like a change sometimes.

[Aunre]

Thank you for reading, Mollie. :)
