An Ode to Dictionary

When I have a tab open
for dictionary
I am happy

Natural

I think of the seed events
popping up and wonder
if there is a
National Seed Swap Day
which there is
Jan 30th

But it also precedes spring
which is kind of natural

The shape of a Heart



Heart Shaped Mold Silicone Molds - 3 Size Assorted Silicone Heart Pan for Baking Cake, Cupcake, Muffin, Pudding, Jelly, Ice Cubes, Bath Bomb, Lotion Bar, Soap BPA Free Nonstick Set of 3


A Costco plastic plate
with four cupcakes
placed in a square

in Valentine color
(donned by Rice Krispies
this time of the year)

Few sparkly paper hearts
red and pink
big and small

A heart cupcake
topper with a heart
and another smaller one
embossed where its
heart might be
if it were a human

And some heart
candy with letters
like LOVE




Symbols out of Phrases

Serpentine park

Dallas Fair Park

On a Valentine's day
couples picniced
by the lake

With bridges piped onto
and under
the lake
would be traversable
too like the heart.

Straight as a Crooked Stick

Tomb of the Diver
Would I be shockd to find that the Parthenon colums are not straight? That some how the ancients were not perfect and that their striaght line was crooked? Entasis was a way of getting the columns to look straight. But why is straight aesthetic?

My thoughts on

La Limpieza

This poem takes you from the Limpieza de sangre to an instructable of How to turn your bleach stained red bathtub white. Or thats just this reader's journey. With a word like Limpieza, the reader will be forced to lookup the meaning, kind of like running around for a beg, borrow, steal and now you have spent some time for the poem. With that hook and images like dove-bone-dirt (When I first heard of bone dry is how I feel of dove-bone-dirt) and russet (red potatoes came to mind). With this tete-a-tete, the poem has lodged in my mind and awaits a knock at a further date. Thoughts during an ambulance blare are universal where they flow like cries between birds when they hear an eagle. JGApoet shows this poem as a filigree of her time-warping abilities.

Talking Words

Yesterday while telling a home brewn story, I made a mental note to look up  explain (laying it plain) and  explore (plore which it says is linked to cry out - reminds me of implore).

Agora

A warriors grave at pylos Greece could be a gateway to Civilizations



While reading of agora as collection, which I know as market, which can be seen as a collection of marketers and their wares, words make me wonder how we can go it two ways, sum of individuals or as a whole new individual.

60 second science

The stopwatch
with its ring
a mouth
and the two
buttons as
its front feet
looks like a
tortoise

How letters change meanings

There is a one letter
difference between
duel and duet

There is not much
difference between
fuel and feud

Whose lunch was Gratis?

A friend
buys lunch
anonymously
for servicemen-
cops and firefighters
at restaurants

When it was time
for the cops
to pay their bill
The waitress said
"A lady paid for your
lunch"

The Lady only saw
one mans shirt
with POLICE
on it.

Furniture

Design of Furniture

Adele Serving Console Table
some tables are upheld by
a couple of uprights of a
banister

Under neath some
are the scaffolds
of a bridge
