It’s in the way she often calls me out It’s in the cut of your pretty gown Your come-on legs and your pantyhose You look so precious with your bloody nose We’re gonna come together We’re gonna celebrate We’re gonna gather ’round Like it’s your birthday I don’t want to know just what I’m gonna do I don’t care where you’re going I’m coming along with you Walking her home with the grassy field Falling and laughing at the drinks we’ve spilled Just one of those nights that I have to share Chasing the death, without a care We’re gonna come together We’re gonna celebrate We’re gonna gather around Like it’s your birthday I don’t wanna know just what I’m gonna do I don’t care where you’re going I’m coming along with you You know I love the way you curve Yeah We’re gonna come together We’re gonna celebrate We’re gonna gather ’round Like it’s your birthday I don’t wanna know just what I’m gonna do I don’t care where you’re going I’m coming along with you
My 2 cents –
Thursday is the birthday of my boyfriend. we will be 32 years together in May. Happy birthday Joe.

My Thoughts
My introduction to poetry was this book, followed by Edgar Allen Poe. Her poetry is still one of my favorites.
This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
I actually got more than I was expecting this week. then again due to the weather I had to reschedule my appointments.
my sleep patterns were so bad I ended up being able to get back to normal with my poetry writing goals. I did some in the stories but of course I would always want to do more.
This one was pencil and ink with oil pastels for the color.
I enjoy playing with mixed mediums as it gives my imagination more to work with. I had to use something to make the initial circle as my hand is not so steady to be able to make the circle freehand. I found that some of the mediums are more difficult to work with.
Okay, I am going to preface this with I Swear I am a writer.
I end up on weird rabbit hole Google searches. I feel sorry for whoever ends up having to sort out my search history. I search for things like who voiced certain characters in various anime or cartoons… like most people do. Then there’s the random fact search for stories I am currently working on…or the strange things that spark my imagination.
The last one was how to turn humans into soap. The worst part is that I already knew how… because I learned years ago how ashes, fat, and water in the right ratio created soap. I never thought about humans being a good source of fat before though.
I did not manage to go to college but I have taken so many free community courses or the occasional weird class offered by places that would be considered anything but educational. I have also taught myself things via the Internet and sheer determination to know it.
So my thoughts? Unless you are literally looking up illegal activity… do not be ashamed of research searches. You might be surprised by what you find.
(In 1780, the former Holy Innocents’ Cemetery in Paris was closed because of overuse. In 1786, the bodies were exhumed and the bones were moved to the Catacombs.[6] Many bodies had incompletely decomposed and had reduced into deposits of fat. During the exhumation, this fat was collected and subsequently turned into candles and soap.
In 1787, the French inspector of manufactures Jean-Marie Roland de la Platière reportedly proposed a scheme to the Academy of Lyons for utilizing the bodies of the dead by converting the fat into lamp-oil and the bones into phosphoric acid. <according to Wikipedia>)
Guess Serena has a new story idea. 😹
well you now know what rabbit hole I have been crawling in this week….
