Flash Fiction 55, Friends | Posted by Jannie on 22 September 2011 @ 5:55 PM
The girl who dreams of Paris,
she with poems and the Eiffel Tower
shooting out the top of her head,
needs only bread, cheese
oranges, pencil and paper
to survivingly thrive.
Green trees and
cafe afternoons
feed her too.
But really, just a
white room with
words to lay her
heart on will do.
My European Tour 1999 — 11 penpals in 7 countries in 30 days. Me with Christine in Paris.
Remember my blonde “panpal” Jo in England? The one I love to BITS!!??
There she is with Andy in London during that same trip.
And speaking of “a Trip,” for more Flash Fiction 55s…
please visit G-Man in his land of happy ass-kicking.

Oh — and TODAY marks my 3-year blogging anniversary, whoooohoooo.

he who’s been shaking poems into the seaweed all day,
is oblivious to the splotch of professional photographers
rolling their expensive eyes at each other over the little
point-and-shoot he made from laughter and airplane wings.
The man hoists the ocean, clouds and pelicans into position,
fluffs up the sky’s pillows, billows his cape, and raises his wand
to pause the breath of heaven’s violins a moment for you.

Our esteemed blogging buddy, the lovable, caring and fun-filled Dr. J. of Calorie Lab, snapped that through his Serengeti sunglasses on Florida’s Cedar Key one New Year’s Eve. And won a photo contest with it!
Dr. J. flies a Cherokee Arrow 200 for fun.

Friends, Sidebar Buttons | Posted by Jannie on 17 September 2011 @ 12:18 PM
I make them with pink…
I make them with blue…
I go for the green…
And floral ones too…
Music. Dancing. Laughter. Light.
25 new buttons, a cute little sight?
____________
I wonder if this latest batch
Has new peeps thinking “Hey, what’s the catch?”
____________
But verily Jannie says unto y’all.
Nope, really no catch at all.
____________
Making sidebar buttons is fun for me.
(I like things artsy, as you can see.)
____________
Do the “old” buttons then disappear?
Heck no! You’ll find those puppies here.
____________
If you’re new here, it’s just a matter of time
Til YOU get a button, bloggin’ buddy of mine.

After days spent ambling
mostly peaceful backroads
of familial forest and field
——————————
the prodigal commenter
taps her blog blinker and zips
onto the freeway of friends
————————–
she hopes will smilingly wave and
welcome her back into their lanes,
all sins of her absence absolved.
Photo effects are “sunburst” illumination and geometric “spherize” in Corel’s Paint Pro.

Baby, you’ve hardly changed a bit in 10 years!
Even the hat still fits. Kind of.
Seems like 10 minutes ago I was doing up your birth announcement, not 10 years.
TEN YEARS!!!
Happy Birthday, Baby!!
Love Mom & Dad.
