Notes for a poem 1. Lechon asado Cuban music lobster boat docked by the mangroves homemade cabin, painted white a hundred times-- and what it means to me--this figment of my poem this source of a living to the lobster man 2. Brown, did you forget to cut the wood around the stained glass windows and do you know an electrician with an aesthetic sense to hang the lamps and would you hang the vertical blinds
Carol -- this is fantastic as is!
poetic--and I wish I were there-- summer coming, huh?

The sense of created versus create, functional versus the cool aesthetic works well as is. Sort of like driving along the Bruce shoreline and passing a Tim Horton's and then an inukchuk.

yes, Carol, I wouldn't change much. These are not notes for a poem, they are the poem. Well done, Carol.

Yeah, what they said. I think this needs to go in the OTHER blog too...

Hey you guys!
Thanks for the kind words. I'm heading back to the Keys this weekend, working on our house, and working on a poem, I hope. That place inspires me.
