a lunger on a hospital sheet
embraces the last spring
bursts into blossom with scarlet poppies
with every coughing fit

Strange, to say the least, but I like it. I have read it several times and “feel” it more each time I read it. Well done!

She’s such a talent. Are your blogs linked? Does she see the wonderful things I say about her and her poetry and hilarity? I swear I am following her but I only ever see posts from this blog! Does she know I am a fan????
So many questions! !!!!

Hey Fiery! How are you? Yup, the blogs are linked, and we are also equal creative partners on both! So, we put all our writings here, and we do all of our comic stuff over on the other site. And, although she’s usually as quiet as a mouse, Tati does see your wonderful comments and she does appreciate them very very much. 🙂
