WHAT I AM READING NOW



On occasion,I'll share what I am reading off-line. More fodder for my book diary.

Mirror, Mirror by Gregory Maguire. I have read Wicked and Son of Witch.

Maguire's books are tasty. They pulled me out of a holiday funk and pushed me to write again. I have finished at least two chapters of a manuscript because of the inspiration that his books engendered.

POEM OF THE MONTH













My sleep last night was troubled by a violent storm outside,

And when I work I still felt dizzy from the lingering effect of
wine ;


Anxiously I asked the maid who rolled up the bamboo curtains,

To my surprise came her reply, "The flowers are all right. "


"But that's impossible, and don't you know all would remain a scene,


Of petals fallen and leaves of their company sorrowfully deprived!"
