A new post!!

Josh reminded me today that it had been a while since I had last written. He also reminded me that this is partly so I WILL write- so today i decided to post something- so I would be writing.

I put a poem on here a while back ( I think you only have to scroll down a little to see it) called The Orange. I have been trying to focus on positive things lately and I think this poem was just what I needed. You should read it.

Here's something else I think I found at just the right time.

Cliff Klingenhagen

by Edwin Arlington Robinson

Cliff Klingenhagen had me in to dine
With him one day; and after soup and meat,
And all the other things there were to eat,
Cliff took two glasses and filled one with wine
And one with wormwood. Then, without a sign
For me to choose at all, he took the draught
Of bitterness himself, and lightly quaffed
It off, and said the other one was mine.

And when I asked him what the deuce he meant
By doing that, he only looked at me
And grinned, and said it was a way of his.
And though I know the fellow, I have spent
Long time a-wondering when I shall be
As happy as Cliff Klingenhagen is.
