Oh...it seems my license is up for renewal!. I'm going to be required to drive with corrective filters.) Perhaps the only thing missing is a mention of a learner's permit. I'm interested in the long microphone line.<br /><br />I once wrote a poem that began “Welcome, welcome to the Department of Frozen Moments, Ms. Ganz! <br />We heard from the folks in Accumulated Baggage that you’ve been spending a lot<br />of time there, but it’s nice to know you haven’t forgotten us completely.”<br /><br />Happy long weekend to you too!<br /><br />Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-54381685830361216632012-11-04T04:36:29.153-05:002012-11-04T04:36:29.153-05:00"hungry wordsmiths" = YES!

So happy to have checked back, Tabatha. This is so clever that I thought first you were applying poetic license to obtaining a driver's license, working hard to find the words that are pure poetry in one of those places one must endure every few years. I read the beginning like that, then took the layer off. It's beautiful to contemplate the many moves one makes in poetry, and "The magic is that no one/is here who doesn't want to be here." Beautiful.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-74286434275383512722012-11-02T20:16:46.295-04:002012-11-02T20:16:46.295-04:00Of course, the problem with getting one's poet...Of course, the problem with getting one's poetic license is the years and years of training!
