But I could do with a cup of her tea right about now:) I simply love it, with a great big cackle!Speaking as someone who really IS 115 years old, hee hee!Love the hooking a squirrel skull thru a pickup window (havent tried THAT yet! THAT would startle the rednecks who live around these parts!!!!) "dusky feathered heart" is simply BRILLIANT! (did someone once say you write your best poems during heartbreak? I believe it may be true!)<br /><br />Let's see who falls in love again first - the 115 year old witch - or me - I'd say we're neck 'n neck for NOT falling again, ever :)(throwing squirrel skulls not being too conducive to attracting visitors)<br /><br />GREAT and wonderfully amusing writing which still says a lot underneath the wicked sharp humour. I so love this poem.<br /><br />I count too many brackets in this post- but you get the idea.....I love it!!!!!!Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.com
