Crystal Teardrops.......




shatter on the cement floor of reality.

For some, this reality is joyful, hopeful, calming. For others this reality is drowning and mournful.

Eventually, all our realities intertwine.

When will yours and mine?

That's beautiful. I love the words and the image.

HEY! wasn't that from Sonel Johnson??

What a gorgeous poem!

Haha Nina, I knew you would catch me. The crystal teardrops bit is all her's. She takes the credit for that brilliance but the rest is all mine. Does that make up for the brief plagiarism?

The picture is by Ruth Orkin, same photographer who shot American girl in Italy. I love Ruth Orkin and Bernice Abbott, complete pioneers of their day.

Wait, were you refering to poetic imagery? I find your online persona very confusing, Martin.
By the way, how can I get emails from blogger saying when a comment has been posted?

Nina said...

lol well your part was very poetic...in all fairness the crystal teardrops aren't technically Sonel's...think they're that boy Chris' who was in love with her...

Sonel does have that affect on men. I surely could never inspire anything involving crystal teardrops. You seem to be inspiring your own bit of poetry in someone else's heart though, my dear Nina. ! OOOH Guess what!?!? Someone is sending me flowers. ME! FLOWERS! The florist just called. I hope they're not roses, but I'll love 'em all the same. I bet you it'll be from someone like Josie Bennacasa, sweet but lacks the impact an admirer would make. Keep you posted!

How sweet of you to ask Cand!
They were from a sister in my hall. She felt the need to apologize over something I didn't even realize she did. It was orchids and chocolate covered fruit. I was VERY happy that day. Who needs admirers!

I got your email about the floating kingdom hall. It was very cool. I want to see pictures! Are you coming to good ole' BK for my partay with Lyssa? There will be ice cream cake! Oh, why doesn't your link for your blog work?
