The Poet: Local Senior Ladies Club

5 Comments 20 March 2012

If you’ve been following our Poet, you know he got his poetic license back, but only on probation. Community service: write for the Local Senior Ladies Club. Should be a piece of cake, yes?

Love that left hand and wrist in the “I never lost mine” frame.

Sonnet, sestina, villanelle . . . so hard to get ‘em all straight.

I keep coming back to that “I never lost mine” line — I’ve interviewed so many drivers. If I had a nickle for every time I’ve heard “I’ve been driving for 57 years and I’ve never had a ticket…”

Yeah, I loved that play on the word “license,” since she’s talking about her poetic license but we know the stories in real life.

This lady though? I believe her. I can only imagine the teleutons she gave our poor Poet

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
