Just some things I have been writing since I visited Emily Dickensons
house in Amherst Mass. US this spring.
Don't think Im channeling Emily, just that being there got my
creative juices flowing. Hope you enjoy.

Oh yes. I enjoyed! A year late... but I enjoyed! The author hasn't posted here since Sep 8, 2002, which is frustrating.

If you ever come back, let me tell you that I laughed out loud at the first one, and enjoyed the challenge of the back-flip in the second one.

I also like the sparceness of the language. I wish I could write such short lines.

Thanks for posting, and I am only sorry that these have been so grieviously ignored for so long.

Thanks for bumping this up Ben smiley - hug

I laughed at the first one too. I liked that I was sort of expecting a serious conclusion, but ended up with a bit of a joke.

The second one has a few lines that I don't really follow, but I think I still get the general point. I also like all of the implications, and how you dance around the idea. smiley - smiley

Inspired by Emily huh. One of my favourite love letters was written by her. Not to me obviously. To her sister in law. I read it in a book.

Anyway, I like, and thought maybe suitable for the CAC...but shall look up the others by this interesting Elvis.
