The Child

[Young dr. Freud]

Lizzy, I love your line ""The words come in, the words come out... the words get stuck in their mother's snout... " It really made me laugh!

It really made me laugh too. What Lizzy actually remembers is, "The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinochle on your snout."

She must have been having one of her paradigm shifts.

What is a prose poem?

Lizzy, Lizzy, Lizzy . . . Lizzoid!!1!

You have my books, my author-copy inscribed books, my very rare publisher-stingy one-of-five author-copy books! They're epyllions, epics, prose poems, long poems, yadda-yadda-yikes!

Moderators! Get this heathen to the Forum Jail. Yesternight! I've had it! Enough! As if. Yeesh!

<*BEG*>

Love always (even if you're now a heathen), Judithia (begaspingly)
p.s. Aw, Lizzy, I'm jes' funnin' (and, I really hope you know this)

I hasten to add, Sherry, that only Judith can be word-extrapolating-meaning-extrapolating-word, syllable by syllable, comboword by comboword, JUDITH, the way that only Judith does or can... even the freer world of private communication. I fall outta the nest of language-secure expression and fling my wings toward flight, but I land onna branch relatively soon, compared to her that's flitting about the fjords, catching airstreams and wind sheers and all the rest that's in Nature, but I'll tell ya, it sure is FUN!! Kinda like verbal hang-gliding... the cliffs, gulleys, rivers, and canyons right there below you .

Enjoyed reading this exchange between you and BoHo. I agree on your expressiveness... and thanks HUGELY for the link and suggestions on prose poetry [just the thought of it... fear of failure, fear of success, whatever all those fears are?]!! Again, thanks for your faith in me .

BEST of Lady Luck to you with getting your paper done on time... boy do I know about those Piles of Notes... and, then, somehow they begin to somehow disappear . You can do it, though, and hopefully will have by the time you read this [or maybe on a brief break, midstream ]! As Judith has said and encouraged you, I'm looking forward to reading more of your 'less-is-more' poems.


Love,
Lizzy

Of course, I know you are, dear Judithia ~ but I never recall your telling me, here's my book of prose poetry, sent to you with love, lotsa love, yeah love, only love, love, love. You have to tell me these things, break it down... WEll, if you did, I've [obviously ] since forgotten the insertion of that liiiiiiiitle, five-letter, operative word .


Love and laughter,
Lizzy

And, we (although I shouldn't speak for Lizzy, she's yappy enough as it is <*sniggle*>)

Ah, yes, BoHo... that she is ... yet, overloaded with the personal-world expectations, too, so she'll be catching up there while there remains the possibility for that ... after a bit, it all takes on its own momentum... you know how that can be, even when the specific realms may not be the same, yours writing expectations .

So, looking forward to your further poems, Sherry... and to Judithia's input on them... I'll be comin' round with a wet dish and dish towel in my hand to check in and read ya' [both]... then with a broom... then a mop... then some paperwork from work... then with a piece o' laundry folding... then a bill or checkbook in hand... then a... then a... well, you get the idea . If I had a licka sense, I'd get a third job... and maybe actually make a dream of going to Hydra come true ~ and, yesssss, BoHo, I knoooooow you were kidding , but I still have lots to do . See ya on the go round, with all good will...


Love you both,
Lizzy

Hi Lizzy and Judith,

Judith, you are absolutely right. It's funny how we can give someone else advice and not take it ourselves. Point taken!

My paper is still lurking in limbo. Went to get antibiotics last night. Hope they kick in soon. I will try working on it again this afternoon - even with the headache and photosensitive eyes. I hope the prof grants my extension request.

Enough complaining already!

Sherry

[lizzytysh]

Dear Sherry ~

May the antibiotics take hold quickly. Trying to work on deadline can be difficult enough... but sick, all but impossible. I hope your prof grants the extension, too.

Rest, be well, and write .


Love,
Lizzy
