Nothing to say about myself yet but I am really enjoying the reading I am doing on this site. I would like to put up a poem from one of the contests I have entered.



Why I Am a Poet by William Stafford



My father's gravestone said, "I knew it was time."
Our house was alive. It moved,
it had a song. The singers back home
all stood in rows along the railroad line.


When the wind came along the track
every neighbor sang. In the last
house I followed the wind ~ it
left the world and went on.


We knew, the wind and I, that space
ahead of us, the world like an empty room.
I looked back where the sky came down.
Some days no train would come.


Some birds didn't have a song.

    Hello Itsalie

    This is a pixiegram. Guess why? Because We are both pixified, pixielicious pixies. My AP grannie Crystaldust started talking to me about pixies and I saw there was a whole lot of whimsey going on I missed due to well, you know, my life.

    Happy New Year To You

    Notice how mirrors work
    two images one hurt
    how can that be
    two picture one we.

    Ask your higher power
    as you plainly glower
    where is your tower
    for your heart's flowers.

    We pixies lovingly write
    fearful and so contrite
    as a pixie might
    looking for some light.

    Discover your heart's fire
    which we pixies desire
    to grow and inspire
    despite what you require.

    Ciao and love yourself as pixies do our motto from our 79 year old Pixie Empress Crystaldust of Joy says "Love the World" I didn't set it up to have a site but it sort of happened. Well that's pixieland.

    If you go to my site there should be a link to Pixieland and if it is broken go to my aunt's site Lepekaha. She is the Grand Duchess Fairy of South Texas Dixie and one wonderful friend to boot. Ciao now.
