Alone

Alone, adj. In bad company.

In contact, lo! the flint and steel,
By sharp and flame, the thought reveal
That he the metal, she the stone,
Had cherished secretly alone.

Thanks for the inspiration, Manjusha

  7. Good for you, Andria. "In good company" was the first draft this morning. I feared people would think I was in a good mood and wonder why, since I look nothing like a blowpop. Well...

  9. Huh? I'm confused.

    I just thought that I come visit your blog and say hi.

    Hi!

    Ok, I wants to say more. Thanks for visiting my blog and posting a post on my blogs post that you just posted to! I had to go fix that post I posted because I made some gramma mistakes in that post which made me look gay, because I'm not! But they are ok.

    I was serious with what I posted on my post that you posted to, but I'm happy that my post made you laugh, because everybody needs a good laugh, but not my grandma, because I'm fraid her face might crack, which is not a good thing, because I love her!

    I hope you are having a nice day, and thanks for visiting my blog, again.

  10. Icy, I'd love to help you out but it's been a really tough month and I gave a lot to the SPCA and, look, I have to answer my friend Rockchild but don't be a stranger, ok?

    Hi, Rockchild, my two mommies, Ana and Angela, made come over even though I wanted to burn ants. I guess I had a pretty good time, though.

  16. Prying, I guess I'd missed the financial gag. Good one.

    Jamie Dawn, may you never be.

    By golly, Gabriel, that's what I wish I'd written. Hats off. Deep bow.

    Poetry from brother Sreekesh, the largest shareholder in Waking Ambrose. Thanks, boss.

    Gnat, I prefer my solitude organically grown.

  17. I'm the hermit type. I'd love to move into a cave all by myself, if I could bring a girl with me.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Inde, that doesn't sound like hermit to me. It sounds like a poet wishing for a quieter muse.

  19. If you're 7 years older than Strider, then I'm only 2 years younger than you. Does that leave me old by association?

  20. Well I guess I'll be joining you at Bingo.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Welcome, but I should warn you I cheat.

    ReplyDelete
  22. You'd have to because my bingo skills are lightening fast even for my old age.

    B4...and after!
