Goodby Mother

. The jaw drops as the lids of mine eyes and mine dome The whole procession did hear these knees clap with the stone as the Elder read "This is her new home"

It's sad, how deeply you were affected, James. I bet you were very close. By the way, back to the chalkboard with you, young whippersnapper. You didn't get my sonnet either. I was saying I LIKE my little room. DO punish me and let me write restictrive (form) poetry. I can't do very many poems in free verse form. But I can always do things when I am restricted. Well, gosh I have a lot of work ahead of me now on that final blog I am doing! wish me luck. LUv,Andrea
