At last at last
Weeks half way thru
So here's 100
Words brand new....
Little things
Coincidence
Eddies in the flow
My first house was on #Bonnie Brae Lane.
Which tickled my mom
Who in the fourth grade
Was crowned Queen Bonnie Brae
At camp
Like I said
It all circles round in connection
Even if its not always poetry

Where's the harm in #harmony?
Load me up with melody
Turn up the music
Til i can't see.
Let the sound wash over me

Names are funny.
The pound called him Cappy.
Short for Captain.
But he was more exotic.
And given his size
We settled on Mango.
But then the boy noticed his speed
And so I present
Captain Mango #Lightning
Yes that's his real name.

He and Peter Gabriel did it as a duet.
The night before
#spellbound sailors
Reef drug
Offer bouquets of kelp
Before the mermaid ball
Before they rise
Waving to the shores

Im walking
Til my feet don't feel the ground
Im shaking
And you're driving us to the sea
Im taken
By the ways you say life should be
And now and then
I could pretend
I could give a good goddamn
So hey, why not
Let's go down fighting

Plum blossoms
Plum blossoms
Bare bark wears finest
#jewelry
#take2 #haiku #HaikuSaturday #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry
Adorn me with vast misery
Bedazzle me with woe
Deck me out in #jewelry
Forged in sorrows of the soul
Dress me up in anguish
Then strip me down again
Love to read those tear jerkers
And smile at The End.

Oh 2 more things. You don't seem to mention that the 275 includes camping at an insanely beautiful resort. So, im expecting the cheaper prices you show me to includes my place to sleep.
And, if you really gave a rats ass, seems you'd know its now called Imagine.
Its an island.
So, let me get this right.
1) The tiny resort on a tiny island doesn't hold a large enough event for you? Not the Gorge. And everyone knows to buy early. Sheesh.
You put intent on environmental restraint. Kinda judgy
2) show an established multiday festival anywhere for less.
3) um....
How so? Ive felt welcomed and welcomed others for 25 years?
Ha. My preschool used to run the Doe Bay Fest beer garden as a fund raiser. Good times.
Balancing #bountiful
Gainst man's greed
Harvest of poverty
Grown like a weed

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
If your boat goes underwater
Its a submarine
I. Hear about the lady who looked up at Niagara Falls?
#cataract in both eyes.
II. Old men wrapped in oil and gold
Lost in the #cataract of their soul
III. #Cataracts, heart attacks
A bit deaf in one ear
Least weve got each other
And a love that's clear
