Jim - that's a lovely picture.

Surreal and not surreal, and clever, equivocal, and unafraid of being a painted image, which is really nice (that it isn't perfectly perfect). Gorgeous orange, too. Ooh.

Here's some flying fish.

Flying fish! Sea circus!

It's startling to know there is such a day. I'd like to think that, at its core, poetry is, in part, the expression of epiphanic, euphoric, exhilaration. (Don't you think so Kevin?)

Here's a bouquet of happy sounds, words and images to commemorate Happy World Poetry Day:

Attachment 1059

Dare to be happy

Here’s a happy lyric



...and a couplet to say goodbye to it:

Now that happy day is over.
Rest your head in shamrock clover.
