Dear Karen,
This afternoon my sister and I are opening Common Life
by Robert Cording and reading poems back and forth to each other as we sip our Turkish coffee. (She just bought an ibrik
.) Thank you for the recommend which made me rush out to get a copy of this fabulous book. I have a new favorite poet.
Love,
Melanie
lol. Makes me think of that Dana Carvey special where he is talking about how a child’s cuteness can ease a parent’s anger. He compares it to kryptonite. “Can not move. Child too cute. Must get help.”
Seriously, my Sophia’s nickname (given to her by her grandfather) is The Hurricane. Something about the name I guess.
I call her “Destructophia”.
