Shake off early fog
Midtown Grille for happy brunch
Martini, home, nap!
Nice posting on your part, Karin. Very evocative. Mine’s a true haiku and probably as much a description as the middle part of my day as yours was of the early part of yours. After a rough week, it’s a nice bit of decadence for us to have a nice Saturday brunch and one martini at the Midtown. Then back home to nap, write poems, watch a movie or whatever strikes our fancy! 🙂
For some reason, I can’t seem to reply to your post “Saint or Angel?” So I’ll reply to this instead. Anyway, I think it is just so fine, and with just a little work it could be turned into a good poem. Just the way you talk about the warm but moist and dreary days, the way it makes your straight hair curly, just very nice turns of phrase. A fan of mine in Raleigh, a teacher named Julie Taylor, said about my Maintenance and Death, ““I think what I appreciate most, and what draws me to your poetry, is the way you seamlessly write about the layers of what on the surface appears like mundane daily occurrences.” I really appreciated that comment, and that is what I see in your “Saint or Angel” and in what I heard in your Art of Style reading.
You do have a way of seeing the magical and beautiful in the everyday, and I think that’s a lot of what makes good poetry. Definitely encourage you to keep writing and keep looking for the “layers in the mundane.” You’re so good at it!
Not sure why the problem commenting, Harry–possibly I was editing the post? Thank you for the very kind words. I had not thought of it as a poem, but may have to consider that. Your feedback is a great encouragement to me and I appreciate it enormously! Warmest regards,
Karin S. Wiberg

Harry, that sounds like a most excellent day. Way more better than cleaning the basement and garage, which is what we did!! 🙂
