ReplyDeleteA big hearty laugh. This is simply great!
Ha, ha--you old sneak of a clothes horse--before I read your hilarious take on Creeley's most well-known poem, I flashed on Roethke's I Knew a Woman--I thought you'd like to know.
ReplyDeleteThis is good to read and to look at -- easy on the eyes and fun for the ears. Curtis

Winter solstice a wonderful time for a laugh! The best thing about that dress is the zipper that works from both the bottom and the top. Something to grin about, eh? Does spark an image or two.
ReplyDeleteMuch love from our house to yours...

Martha,
ReplyDeleteLikewise to you & Baz from us both.
Yes, that dress. A pastel-toned Kleenex with a two-way zipper for $238. (That's cited as an order-now bargain price.)
