... Having the fever sure does weird things to my brain... :)) But HEY!! I'm starting at last to feel better! Onwards and upwards, People. LOL K xx


SHOP UNTIL YOU DROP


Trying eternity on for size,
seeking the perfect fit,
an haute couture designer heaven
instead of an off-the-peg religion
guaranteeing a trendy brand of bliss,
or a hand-me-down, hellish future.

Looking for that personal place,
a space to squeeze lungs, heart –
all our on-going energies – into.

Testing clouds for comfort
and commodious kimonos
of nirvana for style, we are
all the time wondering:

does my aspiration
look big in this?

Oh, dear, dear Kate... "I really am beginning to think that you and I have some psychic hook-up, Alexandra..." (you wrote) - and I'm beginning to think that, most definitely, we do, LOL! I know it may be hard to believe, but I've been having "strange" thoughts about... "wearing time like a suit". Such thoughts have not quite written themselves as a poem, though - I've merely jotted a few notes down - at least, not yet. But... I promise to try and "sew" them properly, if you promise to write your liquid one - the one you referred to in your review to my poem "Sideways". Meanwhile, I'll go on reading and re-reading this absolutely extraordinary Haute-Poetry-Couture... until I drop. Of the most genuine pleasure there can be - greater than the one of looking at an exquisite "Valentino"! And, by the way... Jude is totally right - and he's a refined connoisseur, too! ;0) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Lots of XXL {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}} with XXL Love,
Alexandra*

Who knows, but occasionally one could be extravagant. I bet you would look great in a kimono nirvana style :) Victor

Some people need to work at being liked. Individuals give what they seek in return and are welcome. Being someone else doesn't make the fit either. Being who you are, accepted as a shining star...well that's making the grade.
Ilove this understanding of self. More people should take a bow.
Love,
Susan

Kate,
your aspirations are as big as a Montana skyline...and well they should be...I've only been writing since this March. So I know how trepidatious it can be.
I love the people I've met her too. they have been wonderful to me through a trying time. And they feel like family. I'm glad too.
