I just read it in your reply to my comment on your previous post:<br /><br />I wait for your comments like a school student who waits for the last bell to ring.<br /><br />That's an image I can truly identify with, not as the student, but as the teacher. Even I wait with baited breath for that last bell to ring.

I'm so flattered that you should me...Oh, Susan! I'm so flattered that you should mention my name... truly! And what an exciting adventure. I have to tell you I generate similes and metaphors when I'm writing like there's no tomorrow, but when I'm prompted I become mute. Still... I'll try some dorky experiments:<br /><br />Right now, I just came home from a long day at work and I'm feeling as chipper as a bumble bee around a lavender bush (hey, I do have a lavender bush in my front yard and the bees are going crazy over it)!<br /><br />And I'm getting ready to start making my husband a dinner that will make him want to savor me for dessert (oooh, sorry, it's a bit racy but, oh well)!<br /><br />And here's one from my true, deep mind: I need to find myself in pages, yellowed by time, of my neglected diary, and extract some inebriating potion from those meaningless words.<br /><br />Nice one, Susan! Really cool idea for a blog post, as are all of your ideas! :-)<br /><br />NevineNevine Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794887684860140819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-4787054376594251202010-04-05T21:05:03.882+05:302010-04-05T21:05:03.882+05:30My mind like a butterfly flitted from one happy th...My mind like a butterfly flitted from one happy thought to another,<br />avoiding sad ones like detecting fake notes as would a banker<br />the filtration done made me full<br />like kidneys filling the bladder,<br />I will burst if I don't share it, I must nature's call answer.Govindhttp://www.govindpr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-58666344902548107452010-04-05T20:51:41.943+05:302010-04-05T20:51:41.943+05:30hmm...can;t think o any good original one...long b...hmm...can;t think o any good original one...long back i came across a wonderful allegory - well sort of...and its apt for the weather these days too:<br />"There was so much humidity in the air that photosynthesis threatened to become audible"Yuvikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871366730928566530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-7268232993214520572010-04-05T15:29:13.361+05:302010-04-05T15:29:13.361+05:30Oh, I am very bad at stuff like this, but this is ...Oh, I am very bad at stuff like this, but this is a quote from one of my "sunset" post:<br />"As it shifts out of sight, the birch trees and farms in my view become dark silhouettes on a canvas of silver.
