just a short ebay-inspired poem

So, we tap on weird little things called computers

to buy stuff we’ve never seen from people we’ll most

likely not meet until at least year 1, 459, 397, 682.

Kinda like in the days of butter artisans when Hilda,

Dot and Mary Katherine with their silver silk bustles

a-swishing, didst order from les grands catalogs.

Gold hair clips often. And mirrors made from melted sand

and the dust of wind-whipped chariots of uncorseted desire.

And seeds, oh yes – seeds whose children keep on singing.

My Open Link Tuesday share for this week of dVerse.

whooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo.

xooxxo

Oh, and funny what you’ll find when you Google “Victorian Seed Packets…”

The Day She Figured Out Her Camera’s Timer

The neighbors still rave about

how she shook her maracas.

How she flung peas into the trees.

Then her blue bra over the roof.

She still had not quite mastered

her Kodak’s indoor light settings…

but, by golly — Thanksgiving 2011,

the day she learned which camera

button to press, and how to run like

heck into position – sweet potatoes

everywhere did a happy fandango.

~~  end of amazingly deep poem for dVerse Open Link Tuesday.

Photos 1 & 2 taken with timer set for 10 seconds.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving if you celebrated.

And if you ever roast a turkey, I hope you have a helper this cute…
