Dream A Little Dream ...

04/26/02 - I love to be intrigued ... I have been fortunate to be intrigued many times. It’s
intrigue that has led me to many memorable adventures.

Intrigue: To arouse the curiosity or interest of by unusual, unique, new, or
otherwise fascinating qualities.

I tend to gravitate to the unusual or unique, or maybe I’m a magnet. It makes no
difference. I’d be very bored without those otherwise fascinating qualities around
me.

This is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold.

William Carlos Williams

This is to Confess

I took
the little brass bell
you had been
carrying in your pocket

and that you
thought you had
lost in Golden Gate
Park

I'm sorry
it reminded me of you
so charming
and so precious.

Cathy L. Hanlon

I used some poetic license here. I didn’t really take the little brass bell. It was
thrown at me. I was attending a free concert in Sharron Meadows. The charmer
was a beautiful long haired stranger. I still have that little bell, thirty-three years
later.

The poetry is really getting to me. Only a few days left to National Poetry Month.
