Spreads the blanket beneath the tree and unpacks the picnic basket

[alee_grrl]

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I'm sorry to hear that your friend is not doing well, but glad you were able to visit with him.

Thank you for sharing this fun little poem of his.

Good thoughts are on their way.

Thanks. Not much of his work is online, sadly, and I really need to get myself a copy of his (out of print) book. He has, um, more poetical works, too, but this one made me chuckle so I thought what the hell.

Chuckles and laughter are a much needed balm some days. I certainly appreciated it. :)
