The Right Colour

[Stephen Whiteside]

Zondrae, you ask about my muse.

I was reading 'A Guide to Poits' (CJ Dennis, Backblock Ballads and Later Verse) to my daughter the other day, and he makes mention of AABABB as one of a number of rhyming patterns. I've tried it before, but I decided to come back to it for a while to try to get a feel for it. I really like it. It's like the gentle rocking of a boat.

I'm not ignoring you suggestion that I work on an index, but I'm not exactly sure who I would be doing it for, and why. It won't help me much, as the poems I've posted here are still only a fairly small fraction of the poems I've written, and I can't see that it would be of any value to anybody else.

Yes,

and if Dr. Stephen would prescribe some of whatever he is taking for me, I would gladly join him.
I wish I could post photos easily. I could show you what I have been doing for the past few days.
I make these things called 'Dammit Dolls'. There are a stress reliever. I have made hundreds (a guess) over the years. I have been making them for over 20 years .They always sell well at fetes and stalls. I usually give them to the charity hosting the event. Cost almost nothing to make and sell for $5.00. I can remember hearing a marketing person once describing the perfect product; It would cost $1 to make, sell at $10, be disposable, and must be addictive.

I may just send you a 'Dammit Doll', Dr. Stephen. (If you are curious and would like one just pm your mailing address). In the meantime.... as I said before.... keep the poems coming.

That's a mighty fine Bream Marion,

Where did you catch it.. (and don't say in the water.) I used to fish but haven't for some time.
