Dancing

(I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horny for my creativity. 
- Gilda Radner)
I may not get
my story
or my leg straight,
but I will always
dance.

  3. Definitely a smorgasbord of talent and creativity! I laughed at both the first one and the third one very heartily I might add... adding in the Gilda Radner quote just about sent me over the edge!

  4. You're absolutely awesome! Did you draw the pictures that weren't photos?

  5. TAG - I humbly bow before you.

    STANDING - Thanks. I have kept the Liz Lerman picture for YEARS! I cut it out of a poster catalogue. I probably should buy it instead of copying it. How do you know about her dance troupe?

    VICKY - Glad you liked it. I love Gilda. I have a mod-podged tribute to her on the side of a bookcase. Maybe I should go take a picture of it and show you.

    JULIE - Back atcha!

    PJ. - The 'likewise' image is one I cut from a magazine years ago. I didn't save the artist's name. The Gertrude Stein image is a card I just bought. It is published by the Philosopher's Guild. I photoshopped the mouth into a burp and added the caption bubble.

  7. Oh, Kass, I took a few days off from the virtual world and did some housekeeping in my real one. I saw you'd posted earlier today but your post was up for hours before I got a chance to look just now. I was so startled, first to see my picture and then to read your poem! It's been a little minute since anyone wrote poetry to me or about me. Thank you. You made me choked up at my desk.

  8. JUNE - Yes, this dance troupe is really a charming.

    LES - I took 3 days off and it's taken me half a day to catch up with comments. Something has got to change. I can't keep doing this. It takes too much time. Glad you liked my little poem. It's not nearly enough to show my gratitude. I can't believe that you took the time to organize and draft and compose that wonderful bus tour.

  9. That was my pleasure. I've done similar exercises before. And I get you about how this consumes time. I'm working on a post . . .

  10. The Gilda Radner quote is brilliant as is your poem to go with it, love them all though.
