Frozen Tree
Cupped stiff leaves hold round
snow clumps, chilling the branches'
joints into red globes.

So, my rheumatoid arthritis is flaring. Can you tell? :~)

reflections of heat and peace

Poetry Friday: In Hope, Polyester
I've been busy researching and writing so my blog is skinny! How about you?
But all things have to stop for Poetry Friday! These two haiku popped out this morning for this photo of me as a child. Two very different directions...
In Hope
Anticipation
poised at the window of light
watching the future.

Polyester
Even my double
knit polyester couldn't
shield me for what came.

Poetry Friday: Hidden in the Sweetness
Hidden in the Sweetness
Beware. On every
plate of sweetness, there is one
that will bite you back.

From Mr. Spock to Captain Kirk: ISFJ
Okay, I'm trying to get my head around my new personality result: ISFJ. Somehow I've morphed from an ISTJ. I'm attributing the slide to having children and working with readergirlz.
"ISFJs are traditional, loyal, quiet and kind. They are very sensitive to other people's needs because they are very observant. They have rich inner thoughts and emotions. They value stability and cultural norms. They are very adept at giving attention to detail. They do not seek positions of authority." My Personality Info
So, the biggest bummer is that I am no longer like Mr. Spock. I am now like William Shatner. Okay, that's William NOT actually Captain Kirk. Thankfully. I could never wear those tight pants.
On the plus side, I match Louisa May Alcott. But also I could gag over being matched with Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind and Ophelia in Hamlet. Seriously?
My only comfort right now is matching Martha Brockenbrough. She totally rocks. So, there is hope.
But I just may have to take the test again. I really did like matching Spock...
