There's something Shel Silversteiny about it. <br />Did you choose "of" instead of "have" in the last line because that's what it sounds like? <br />I think sometimes my brain powers down before the rest of me. There's a poem in that :-) Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-77726048530204367462015-07-17T19:36:21.268-07:002015-07-17T19:36:21.268-07:00But you know Buffy, you've had people look at ...But you know Buffy, you've had people look at you with growlly eyes.

I've greatly enjoyed them. I used to teach at a summer writers camp at NC State University. I always had the most fun being with other young writers. We did ekphrastics at the NC Museum of Art. Some of the things the kids wrote were amazing. Thank you for your service to future writers.<br />Your poem made me giggle.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-53320657761938684492015-07-17T15:56:28.203-07:002015-07-17T15:56:28.203-07:00This is fun Joy!
