(chuckling) I have no idea why, but I became fascinated with screen wire as an image of seperation and of how it abrades things softer than itself...

write me a poem using the image of screen wire in some way....

please?

thank u

Well I don't have a poem yet, but to tide you over, I thought I'd tell you one of my favorite jokes ('tis a groaner, too)

You heard about the guy who ran right through the screen door?

(Everybody say this all together) "No, what happened?"

He strained himself.

*chuckle and wince*

Miss me much?

Wind... the porch puppy and I change e-mails regularly... I know he is being the usual slacker/pain in the hiney he usually is, and is probably watching cartoons right now and eating a bowl of fruit loops instead of getting ready to go to work like he should... how can you take a guy like that and expect him to take time from his busy schedule to write something about screen wire??? Just doesn't make sense does it? He's got to walk the dog and all.. when do we expect him to write??

I'll tell you... JM is far too hard on the poor fellow... calling him a porch puppy and all... One of these days he'll probably stroke out from the stress he works in if he isn't careful.. I think we all need to be kinder to him..and more considerate of his feelings.. after all... there but for the grace of god goes me..

Ocean ocean through my screen
you keep me from the beauty it seems
and though my love is on the other side
she will not be back till next rising tide
could the smell of fish long dead, indeed,

Liz's scientific obserations

The dog and cat theory

Subject: pourch puppy and dancing tiger
Observations: puppy seems to be showing agressive behavior.
Hypothesis: subject is easily distracted and has short attention span, causing it to act impulsively.
Conclusion: yep..that pretty much sums it up
