say no to clowns

She sighed.

“I can’t write like you,

with your weaving wrinkles

and dime shaped gold

your nesting tableaux

in colours that fold

so neatly in parameters

that have never been told…”

said Lily to her bear. Her very first bear. Still first after wonderful, adventurous, fun filled, pensively shaded years.

“Well, that’s because you aren’t a bear”.

  Is it? It’s been so long since I actually read it. My memory sucks. Although, I have a teeny bear called Christopher Robin.

    Yes, very similar style.
    I believe it was John that told me of a book that’s all of Pooh’s intfinite wisdom quotes 🙂
    Pooh was a philosophy major 😛

      Was that the Zen of Pooh book I never actually read?
      Haha thanks for the reminder 😁

I love the beautiful flowing description of the writing, Vanessa, and the tripletake with the bear who writes about writing exactly as she does. The wood ducks like it too.

        Now the wood ducks are consulting a baby book for names.

        My nephew’s little daughter is Amelie. Once they found Daffy and Donald and so on were taken, the ducks were a bit disappointed. A couple chose Tape and Tile for some reason. 😑

        Is she? That’s lovely!
        
        oh Daffy and Donald. Wow. It’s been years since I have thought of them. Well here’s a chance for their imaginations to soar…you know, like ducks, I mean, eagles 🙄
        
        I’m kind of dense though…about Tape and Tile I mean? 🤷

        Flap flap. I don’t know why I wrote that, too silly to explain. It’s not you. Oh alright, reverse the order, put Duck first. 🙄
