On Twitter I found @MyWordWizard posting a challenge:
@MyWordWizard: 2Poets&Dreamers.Complete this. "It was biting cold, but we felt.."
I was able to draw upon my mental archives to craft:
sherku: Winter run
it was biting cold
but we felt
so good heading home
with the wind
at our backs
To which they replied:
@shersteve Thank you so much for that completion. Very optimistic sentiment full of the warmth of home. Encore! http://tiny.ly/MSYF
So I was off into sherku land
Sherku: Harvest cafe
Harvest cafe
Harpoon winter warmer
East of Shirley
let the music flow
Lydia Biasi adds her voice to the mix for East of Shirley
Sherku: Lydia
too many stories
over hot chocolate
Lydia sings of
faithless love
And all good things do come to an end, eventually
Sherku: closing
Lights laughter music
numbers run down
Dutchman's secret only
Margaret knows
And then the final one for the evening as the Franklin skyline appeared along i495:
Sherku: still cooking
Longhorn exhales
into the night
grey on grey
I guess not
all are abed
And yes, they did play the full "Ernesto, manana". Sections of this song open and close the weekly podcast for Franklin Matters.
When you have a quiet moment, what would you put to paper with pen or pencil?
