All the things they said
It seemed to be the right time
A love affair instead"

For those accused of having too many books Robinince.com #poetry #poem

UNREAD
There in a stack
Of irresistible potential
Mainly unread
But don't ask
"Why do you still buy When so many words
are not touched by your eyes"
Because
before the spine is cracked
Without my fingers touching pages, the ideas leak and spread around the room Seep through the ears
And into the synapses while I sleep
Listen carefully
You'll hear the hum
Of future thoughts becoming present

75 years ago today, The first Peanuts comic strip was published. Peppermint Patty was such a brilliant character, and this is my favourite strip featuring her, from 28th December 1984.

Peppermint Patty, a young girl, sits at a table writing on paper, as indeed she is in each picture here. Above her, in joined up writing, we are shown what she is writing:
"What I did on my Christmas vacation. I went outside and looked at the clouds.

They formed beautiful patterns with beautiful colors. I looked at them every morning and every evening.

Which is all I did on my Christmas vacation.

This was as great as I thought it would be. I really don’t know how to sell this unique book (which I’ve just taken down from the shelf to reread) but this episode might.
