Read More“More Than Scribbles” The pen does not speak— it holds its silence in a chamber, a reservoir where sentences float unformed, dark rivers stalled before the mouth of paper. Each droplet is a thought waiting for gravity’s compunction, a poem in liquid pause, its capillary compression held at the narrow...

Oh, thanks for the heads up, FD. Didn’t even notice that, at first. Still exploring how ‘thought on thought’ could be so compelling 🙏🏻🕊️

Read More"farcical bloomery" In the meadow of impossible mornings, the daisies exhale in a trumpet’s blush, petals fluttering like embarrassed fans as the air fills with laughter disguised as wind. Rosehip hiccups, clouds of lavender smoke, their thorns rattling like spoons in a drawer. Lilies bow low,...

Oh, I wish for just one hour to play as a child in your impossible meadow, or just five minutes as the old man I am; what a wonder that would be! But I will take this one out on occasion and play with it here in my head a while when troubling times require some canny lift-me-up. Yes, this will do nicely, but there’s always room for more. Thank you fredd; I’m still smiling, and I know it will grace my face several times tonight as I drift away to wherever we go when life releases us to fumble in the darkness. Thank you for this lovely present.

That is an excellent share, dear FD. There is that meadow that indeed brightens the darkness and pauses the fumbling for a delicious interlude. Many pleasant returns. 🕊️🙏

Thanks for the thanks, and know that I had to reread this piece three more times while here, just for the giggles; it makes me see those very old hilarious colored cartoons with the crazy characters like Betty Boop (my all-time favorite anime crush), before Disney homogenized them all.
-
![Profile picture of kesnerfreds]()
Like Jessica Rabbit, you mean…homogenised, although she seems to be from WB if I’m not mistaken.
-
![Profile picture of FlatDaddy]()
Well, I like Jessica, but I mean the really OLD cartoons, probably 20, 30 years or more before the very sexy Jessica. These were before Mickey. I’ll have to do some research and get back to you.

You were probably thinking of Red Hot Riding Hood as Olive Oyl doesn’t seem to match the raciness of these other caricatures. (Early 30’s before the censors kicked in) methinks.
