Monday, September 04, 2006 Update and quote I'm frustrated. I've been trying to finish a poem for over a week now, really concentrating on it over the weekend. And now I've re-written it three times and I still don't like it. Two pages of content. I've also been writing the next segment of 40. I picked up The Selected Verse of Federico Garcia Lorca, edited by Christopher Maurer at Borders today. I was trying to purchase Drive by Lorna Dee Cervantes but they didn't have it in stock. I'll have to purchase it online. Here is another grand shadow quote, found in the prologue of one of Lorca's works: So like the shadow our life doth slip away that never doth return nor us restore....Pero Lopez De Ayala.  10:20:25 PM   | COMMENT [] | HOME READ MY MiPOESIAS COLUMN: "WHEN THE MUSES COME TO VISIT."
