Nature is crazy but that’s probably why I love it so much.

A Quiet Conversation
Gertrude Abercrombie
She
wanted me to remember
how smart he was, how creative he was
how much a like we really were
I told her
she needed to remember
how he said I didn’t have smarts
that what I had was a big mouth
that he said when smiled
I looked like a screeching monkey
begging for peanuts at the zoo.
She said
I should forgive him
now that he is dead
and I said
that he didn’t care what I thought or how I felt
when he was alive
and I doubt it that has changed in death.
She told me he love me
and I said
I truly believe she wished he had
but I am long passed the point where I
wished for that too.
Ghosts Of A Smile
For the past month I’ve noticed that people on FB have been doing this thing were they post a word or two for the things that they are grateful for and when they hit Thanksgiving they top it off by feasting on some poor animal who died a death that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
Ok. That’s not true, I WOULD wish that on my worst enemy and I would probably wish it on those people who post that picture of a wreath that’s part holly and part thorns and the point this macabre spectacle is to wish Jesus a Happy Birthday.
Because, as we known, nothing says joy like jamming crown of thorns on somebody’s head.
So in keeping with the day here is a selection of Thanksgiving artwork-they’re whimsical, macabre and truly I am thankful for them. They made me smile and if you want to know the truth I can count on one hand the things that can do that.
