Were There But World Enough And Time.

Journal Entry: Mon May 5, 2008, 11:10 AM
Busy, Busy, Busy!

The title of my last journal was "At My Back". I realise that I didn't explain the reference. The title of this journal is another quote from the same poem, written by a seventeenth century English poet. I can offer a clue to his identity. There was nothing cavalier about him.

When I made the haiku offer, I forgot to mention the strings attached. If you wish, you can act on them. It's a little like being tagged. From lithium-reverie's journal:

"The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch free.
In return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, simply link the journal entry in your comment."

So far nine haiku have been claimed by:

:iconlithium-reverie::iconnaaya-neko::iconpickledweasel:
:iconpraytell::iconfrazzled-mage::iconblueskye27:
:iconprettycrazy::iconeverautumn::iconlifesizefairy:

There is still one Haiku left.

I have so much poetry unposted.
I've been writing, writing, writing.
It sickens me sometimes,
all these veins I am opening and smearing and loving and getting angry at.


I can't promise I'll post them all,
they are so hurting and good and I feel really naked, even when I read them!

but I think I feel missed a little.
so we'll see how much it'll take for me to be pushed to post them.
keep egging me about it,
and I will. Eventually. : )
