We are supposed to be so serious, you know, so anguished, so sensitive.<br /> Poets just want to have fun. Like girls. (Thank you, Cyndi Lauper.)<br /> Lisa, I've always wanted to be clever. Most of the time I'm not. thank you for the compliment. And Eric, yes, I can't get "story" out of my poems. Should I? I don't think so. <br /> Catalyst, the daffodil was definitely catalytic for me!<br /> And Willow, I didn't know you were also Cherokee? You are so many things. How do you do it?

I had fun writing it, I must say. It helped me get through a gloomy day. And Jessie, word play doesn't often find its way into our busy days. (yes, this rhymes!) Spring helps. Thank you again for being such a faithful visitor!<br /> Vicki and Lynn, bless you both for being my bloggin' friends. The Demeter/Kore myth has been central to my life.
