Awesome! Like Birnam Wood! Let's all sign up to play the grass!

Oh, my! This is so good! The lace and cotton scraps and the translucent shirtwaist threads seem to be fluttering away in the hot draft of the fire, blowing from the flaming windows, falling towards the viewer, a reminder of the women who fell like leaves. That's throat-catching art that grabs the mind and heart to make us understand!

Dancing human sugar cane sheaves will be the next version of the Portland frog.

@benroyce
That is so cool and clever!
It just reminded me of when I was in high school drama club eons ago. We did the musical "Superman", and my sister was the phone booth. Rather than having black-clad stage hands move the booth on and off stage, my sis hid inside the phone booth, and made it "dance" on and off.

Whenever someone mentions this old poem, I can't resist quoting Bullwinkle Moose -
"The answer came both quick and blunt,
It’s just an advertising stunt.
I represent Smith, Jones, and Jakes,
a lumber company that makes
Excelsior!”

@dogtrax
It totally works!

This sudden flurry
from a clear blue sky. Wait, what?
A tree shedding snow.

Crisp winter morning,
fresh clean air in the pine grove,
boots crunch on snow crust.

I think I say it only for emphssis when irked. For example, "I am so done with shoveling snow at six o'clock!!" But when it's just a normal, non irked time reference, I omit it, as in "I leave for work about seven."

@heidilifeldman
This is the kind of direct, plain language, no-punches-pulled rebuke that we need more of!

@amblergee @inthehands
Double that sentiment!

Yearning for a day
so quiet nothing happens
but the earth turning.
