So my little poetry writing break is coming to an end. I tried to start something tonight but was falling asleep everywhere. I'm reading Galway Kinnell's Book of Nightmares so I'm working on nightmare poems. Spooky scary.
But Val and I are leaving for a trip! We're flying down to California on Thursday and then I'm flying up to Canada on Friday. Because Valerie and I always split up the week before our anniversary to make each other extravagant gifts. They have to be hand made. Last year, she made me a canoe with my name etched into a banner being carried by two eagles. And I made her a hammock that fit exactly to the shape of her body. And had a cup holder.
Oh, wait. Those are lies. We never do that kind of stuff. We just buy each other diamond jewelry. I have a bandolier made of rubies and Valerie is getting (don't tell her) a bathing suit of carbuncles.
Holy crap, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. I have to find some more carbuncles tomorrow.
have fun on your much deserved vacay.
ReplyDeleteapparently i was supposed to chip in on the signed HP that you were buying valerie for your anniversary, but i think your idea is way better.
good luck finding those carbuncles.
I've been thinking about the word carbuncle for the past 2 days since I first read this post. Good luck with the vacation and the presents.
