Global Warming comes

The Mistreated Car -- two Ditties for Blue Monday and Shadow Shots 2
 |
| [In the Walmart lot, I parked beside this mistreated Blue Toyota] |
How Now Blue Car?
Once was pretty blue
Owner does not garage me
Skin's brown peeled and worn
 |
| [A spine poem, Senryu--her skin may be well cared for] |
A Sleight of Shadows
Lay your body down
Even if everything ends
The skin and its girl

A Poem ~~ Friday’s Hunt v1.23-- "W" is for ...
(1) The letter "W" is for Wickett's Remedy:
A book by Myla Goldberg telling of a young medical student whose
marriage went sort of caplooey, especially until the begging of WWI when his
wife became preoccupied by becoming a nurse.
Wickett, the young medical
student, went off the deep end by dropping out of med school and becoming a
medicine man. He invented his tonic and
called it Wickett's Remedy, which became
a magic cure-all for many ails.
Unfortunately not for their rocky marriage. I have not read the book but do have it on my reading list.
In my spine poem* below I used "Wickett's Remedy" for a subtitle, but more
importantly as a first line legal remedy for a bad person Caught up in his
misdeeds.
The Garden of Evil;
Wickett's Remedy
.
Wickett's Remedy
Plea of insanity
My dark place

Today I am linked with
at The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads,
*Spine Poem":
A poem composed of book titles, mine are
generally accompanied by a picture of them stacked up in order. I then leave the stack on a shelf or table
in the library. I doubt that many who see this will appreciate it one bit as a
poem. Sometimes they aren't much.
You can see some of my other spine poem works by clicking here.

Mist, Moon, and Clouds -- for Josie's Two Shoes Tuesday
Mist or moon she said
If I'm up in my balloon
Then I could see both
Clouds chock full of rain
Headed north to make some floods
They too hide my moon

Old Prospector Lost

I found that little Web site today.
I do not know what makes
the eyeballs chase your cursor
nor how to make them stop.
The eyeballs may be an optical illusion.

The pool belongs to our niece's home. It looks inviting doesn't it? The little house is a 'man cave' for her husband to hide out in...
If you want to post a MidWeek Blues picture, go get directions from Rebecca by clicking on the logo picture on the right. She has a Mr. Linky and good directions . Just do what I did. Or do less. All she requires is a BLUE PICTURE or BLUE THOUGHT, you don't have to write..
Rest in Peace, dear Adi

Seared by Texas forest fires
