  11. I know I just shared Gerard Manley Hopkins' Pied Beauty in comic strip form a couple of weeks ago, but this poem is apparently not done with me yet. A take-off of his poem showed up this week in my inbox, courtesy of Ted Kooser's American Life in Poetry newsletter, and that reminded me of a take-off I wrote for Charlotte Huck's poetry class when I was getting my MA at OSU (more years ago than I will admit to here).

  41. Sorry you weren't feeling well. Hope all is better.

    Here's a minor detail -- Chicken Spaghetti's link takes the reader to HipWriterMama. (It's always something, isn't it? I just realized that I misspelled "experiment" in a recent blog title. DOH!)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Mary Lee,

    Thanks for letting me know about the incorrect link. I guess I was too tired to check them all yesterday--which is something I usually do.

    ReplyDelete
  43. A little late . . . but here was my post for Friday:

    My Graduate

    ReplyDelete
  44. Up all night long.
    --------------------------------------
    After a late night, I would cleanse my face and apply Issima Midnight Secret.

    ReplyDelete
  45. And now 8 years later when I desperately need it again,
    --------------------------------------
    it stills gives me the same fantastic results. Now this product is a bit pricey

    ReplyDelete
  46. A 1 oz. bottle retails for $106.00.
    --------------------------------------
    But it will last forever because you only use it when you have had a late night and you only apply a few drops of the serum.

    ReplyDelete
  47. If you are a busy Diva on the go who does not get any sleep, please try this product.
    --------------------------------------
    I know you will love it! You can purchase Guerlain's Issima Midnight Secret online here or at any Sephora.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I am reading this article second time today, you have to be more careful with content leakers. If I will fount it again I will send you a link

    ReplyDelete
  49. You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it

    ReplyDelete
  50. To be a upright benign being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an gift to group undeterminable things beyond your own pilot, that can lead you to be shattered in hugely extreme circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something very impressive with the prerequisite of the ethical autobiography: that it is based on a conviction in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a prize, something somewhat feeble, but whose very particular attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
