Books, fruit, sweatshirt. I suppose the lotus would have been just too much, but I liked that picture, too! <br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend digging into those bags!Jeannine Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886966069866356470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-13936169519415848482010-07-03T14:33:31.670-04:002010-07-03T14:33:31.670-04:00Mary Lee, I have to agree with Laura. Your poem s...Mary Lee, I have to agree with Laura. Your poem screams Billy Collins in its rhythm of language, its use of the simple to describe the significant, and its quiet importance. I want to be the first with a copy of your poetry book when you publish it. I'm hoping you will add your own photographs as well. <br /><br />I've also joined Amy's fan club and would love to join in the celebration.

Thank you for such a perfectly simple noun-filled poem. It made me smile about all of the simple nouns in my life too...

I snuck in for the last 24 hours and was overwhelmed with goodness in just that bit. But missed you WAAA!!<br /><br />I love the cat hiding behind the bags of unsorted books and the fruit in abundance. Sounds like my idea of home!
