My last two blog entries have no comments.  "Pastry café"  "Flashbacks" Have I failed to mention that I have a new blog?

I wrote this in 2003! Posted it in 2005, put it on private and never edited it. New to you (forgotten by me).
My new blog feels a bit lonely. Four entries, a couple comments, a few views:

| Earth Everyday The Sly-ones piss on us. The Ravens just soar on the winds, never touching ground. The Gryffin-fires just burn it all down. All live on this same rocky sphere; but we humble Huffers inherited the dirt. With that guy Sly we fashion mud; we join Rave to spread the dust; we build bricks with old Gryff's flame. No blame, no shame, no glory. No one knows our faces nor our names. We are the salt of the dried up puddle, the honey, the spice and vinegar, the bitter-sweetness of live itself. We are servants of these fertile soils. We never lord over it. Our power resides with our healing charms and our respect for ALL. We will always count our blessings and heed the curse, "We have given you this Earth, if you can keep it." witches warlocks work the roots — trees flower and fruit © Kåre Enga (22.april.2025) [182.35] I always think kind thoughts for THANKFUL SONALI 18 WDC Years! In "Earth Everyday [182.35]" |
I have set up a new blog:
It's still under construction. |

| President Trump's full Easter message: Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country. Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing -- But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!! From Truth Social, reported on numerous media outlets. My opinion: "Trump's Easter Message" |

I don't normally make word searches but the grapevine suggests that there are a few WDC members who adore them.  I guess we'll have to change them all to English now that Our Dear Leader abhors diversity, history or culture (unless it's his own). Sigh Since Montana is Spanish, therefore unacceptable, and impossible to pronounce (too many syllables) I propose Jeannette (after Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to Congress) Fred (after his father). I now live in Missoula, FR.

| Fun! Here's one - near where I grew up - Ashtabula - near Lake Erie in Ohio - I was told it meant 'river of many fish'. Hard to prove. |
Hurting as I reread

A poem I never made into a readable/reviewable item:
Wild and wet the spray the spray even now i feel it falling over soaking into becoming me the rocks the rocks hidden by the spume's sprung beauty deadly in the slippery gloss glistening slimy smooth your long tress of hair a stallion's mane the tail of a mare white light a thousand diamonds' flight a-falling from the heights misting misting in your dark green lair
each strand
wild and wet
untamed

| In my Taboo forum: "Can women be leaders?" Apparently not! Are women allowed to be leaders in your town, school, province, government, military, corporations, church? If so, why? If not, why not? |
For those who enjoy Emily Dickinson and James Joyce:
Only 2 reviews and 48 views. A quirky approach if I dare say so. |
| Tea-n-Tesla have no empathy. They're home-sweet-home wreckers. Personal failings aside (they are both all-too-recognizably human) their lack of empathy has created issues around the world (in my opinion). What is your take on their impact on you, your family or friends. For 18+ rated responses posting in my forum may be best: "Tea-n-Tesla have no empathy; They home-sweet-home wreckers." |
| I feel attacked. Am I overacting, you may ask. I read about the present fascists trying to limit my right to be me. Do you find yourself in jeopardy? A broad statement; because, there are so many rights at risk. You may respond here [13+ rated] or in my Taboo forum "Fascist assaults on human dignity?" however you wish. Ranting, raging, swearing accepted. |
| Questions of rights are much simpler matters to me than they seem to be for most folk. IMHO, John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, summed it up very clearly and reasonably, "The rights of one [person] diminish where those of another begin." |
| Humble Poet PNG still humble - I don't disagree... except... when rights are not agreed upon. The right to speech, religion, sexuality, work, yadayada, are not universal. Even kindness is not agreed upon and has been criminalized (homeless and poor people know this all too well). |
| Word for my day: "Nyctinasty" refers to the circadian rhythm-based nastic movement of plants in response to changes in light intensity, particularly the onset of darkness, often described as a plant "sleeping". I used it in my comedic flash "View from the Vestibule " I once was chastised for using cacophony in a poem for a child and once a high-school teacher didn't like my using halcyon (I knew what it meant). It isn't a crime to use an uncommon word... just saying... |
| It's one thing to write at an appropriate level for one's audience. It's quite another thing to dumb everything down so people won't learn new words. |
| nɪk-tə-ˌna-stē". Nice. We all have critics…and you’re not 5that type. (((Kåre เลียม Enga  ))) You’re on a mountain. Pity the fools that missed the opportunity to witness you as you are. Though, retrospect helps one navigate the ignorance and/or irresponsibility that lords over another. Actions can border manipulation into a gray, unseemly dark side. Pain is essential to impassion writers, and motivates actors. Hence, Survival of the Brainiest? |
| I love using uncommon words. You quickly learn who paid attention in school and who reads books. |
Oh by gosh by golly... it's Elon and The Folly...
The fun begins today. And that's no yolk. |
LOOK WHAT'S BACK IN TOWN!
Starts April 1st. Prompts are up. |
