I recently went on two self-guided tours of Paris. One was to find some locations from “Amelie” (still have a few to get to), and the other was a hunt for street art by Space Invader. Much shutterbugness ensued. Anyone want to see the pics?
No, I don’t know who I was channeling when writing that last poem either
The only possible inspirations (as far as style) I can think of are Alice in Wonderland (the Mock Turtle and general nonsense of it), and maybe something by William S. Burroughs (again, the nonsense and kind of psychedelic style).
Untitled (leaning toward “Celeste” as a title but unsure)
A werewolf sits with a
Cup of green tea, his
Eyes on paradise-
A celestial cafe full of the
Weird-
Streets mirror-cobbled
Peopled by
Mock-turtle
Tourists there for a taste of
Sparkling
Apocalypse
Dystopia
Untitled (can someone suggest a name for this poem?)
A raven calls to a stray
Cat from the boughs of a
Linden tree near the
Train station-
Tobacco and
Coffee-
Ghosts of adventure in the
Misty air-
Electric speed over metallic
Roar-
Towns pass by-
A German Shepherd stands
Guard-
Silver bullet trains-
Wingless planes wait to shoot
Time in the heart-
We’re here at last.
Train Song
Giggling girls
Trash-talking
Wannabe-gangsta boys,
Overheard phone conversations
*snick* Mais, casse-toi!
Over the
Lullabye whisper of
Wheels-
Day turns to
Twilight to
Night in an
Eternal moment as
Linden rows pass.
Poems at last!
So I’ve written a few poems FINALLY. I’ll spare you guys the more personal and/or sappy ones. Yes, two are about train rides, both of which mention linden trees oddly, and one is utter nonsense. So? :P
More news!
Visiting London, Verona, and Venice in April. I have a plan on what to do in London, but does anyone have ideas of must-sees/must-dos in Venice and Verona? Yes, I already know about the Capulet family’s supposed house (where Romeo and Juliet supposedly met), but are there perhaps some other interesting oddments worth seeing?
Good news!
I just got accepted to Naropa University’s Master’s in Writing and Poetics program. :) Woot woot! The only issue now about that is scholarships/assistantships (which will effect how much I will need student loans for) and also lodging. One baby step at a time….

SHERLOCK TEA COLLECTION GIVE AWAY!
Awesome news guys! The cool folks at Adagio have been kind enough to help out with a giveaway for a complete collection of the Sherlock Tea blends. That is 11 bags of different tea featuring art work by yours truly. That’s about 50 servings in each bag. More if you re-steep your tea (which is possible with most of them). That is a LOT of tea. How bonkers is that? Very. It’s awesome. Here’s the lowdown on how to win A WHOLE BUNCH OF TEA.
Anyone ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD can enter! If you live outside of the U.S. I’ll foot the bill to get you some tea myself. Because odds are you are awesome and you deserve it.
You do not have to be following me to win, but it might be helpful to keep track of updates or changes (if any). Plus I plan to make some blends for other fandoms in the future, so if tea is your thing, it might not be a bad idea?
Only two reblogs a day allowed.I did not realize how often people would reblog my last give away soooo I’m going to enforce this LOL. You can reblog on as many days as you’d like, but yeah, only 2 reblogs a day please. I’ll be checking.
The give away will end and I will choose a winner on Wednesday March 7th. I’ll probably choose late at night on that day, so I’m going to say I’ll stop counting reblogs at 10 p.m. EST.
[ADDED] LIKES DON’T COUNT. Sorry! You have to reblog!
A big thanks to Adagio for hooking us up with some awesome tea, and for all of you for following me and encouraging my tea-y ways! Good luck everyone!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lztbh7m79W1qzp0gpo1_r2_1280.png)
