The Nectar of Youth

Oh! Beautiful Butterfly
Why do you not flitter
from flower to flower?

Enjoy! The sunlight
of your youth
Break free the bonds
that once wrapped
you so tight.

Ride! Swift upon the wind
that it may carry you
far -- far away--
away from my cabbages.

You have done damage
enough.

Sunday Update

Here's an update to the status of the blog!

Kelly is working hard on those pictures and I'm waiting for a poem to illustrate.  That is all.

Now, here's a picture of a chicken on the streets of LA.  You know, just because.

Volume one, part one: the words

My soul sleeps on a sea of happiness.
I regret only my location.
If I were closer to you, I would know no regrets.
I send my heart to you on a river of tears.
I sense your hair is extra bouncy today.
Would but I could bounce in your hair.
The drought in my barren arms beckon to you;
As my lonely fingers hunger for you tender follicles.
This earnest verse dies at your feet.
The tenth line is here.

The begining

So, on February thirteenth two thousand and eleven, Kelly and Heather went to LACMA with some other friends to see Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant for a reading to "Ode to Happiness."  It looked like this:



It was fun and then over a year later Heather uploaded the pictures from the day to flickr.

And Kelly commented on one of the pictures "ooh... heather... let's do this. i'll draw the pictures if you write the poem. :)"

(Here's the book in Kelly's lap)

"Hahaha," thought Heather.  "I'll up the stakes and create a blog for this endeavor."

And here it is, muhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Let's see how Kelly feels about this.
