Babies!
07:24 pm
Were you aware..
Jasmine Mann and Julie Ann Cook both had babies last year? Little ones. Like... HUMAN. Seriously.
I know, you'd think they'd have had monkeys or something equally that way, but no, they had little human baby boys, and both are remarkably cute, considering the poetic nature of their mothers.
One half-expected serious drama that would give us years of interesting poetry, but alas it was not to be. Instead, health, happy nasty little boys full of poop and snot. Go figure?

Take a minute to congratulate her.
Now available on www.amazon.com -- Odd Verse Effects by Leanne Hanson (Bulldog Publishing), a wild ride through every conceivable kind of poetry and a few inconceivable ones that wandered home drunk one night and were welded to the couch.
What's up Doc?

SCRANTON SIGNS
Christmas bulbs illuminated the ghosts that dwelled beyond the cracked eyes of the abandoned school
Did anyone else see the absurdity in that sign Coming Soon.... that had perched there almost a decade?
Once upon a time it told a tale of what the once upon a time grandeur of that place would soon hold
but that other sign had gone missing stolen or blown away or eaten by the mines
perhaps its promise lit by cheap white lights to a withering town was this very future
ghosts of children staring out dirty windows whispering coming soon shadows, death and decay.
