Acrobatic and Acrylic Aquariums

A shooting star is a blue orchid. At a Christmas party. But never in a fur coat. That would not be operable would it. Nevertheless a swinging peacock could disco dance in radiating beams from a single lamp. Heaping custard onto a crocus in a garden tent. How wise. How adoring. Scorn not a soldier in a basin. And wear ten ties. As it is often officially unsure what style of cloud will be passing. Gypsy skirted tigers sing beautifully and are always well presented. Operatic nerves of a small chimp waving. How quite quaint. Whilst the whipping of the breeze can smile in a teapot frame. Great. Clap then. Monstrous moons make minutes meekly. *** beak not a whale. *** operationally *** ha ha ha xx is a duck a dog? *** hexagonal mineral deposits xxxx aquarium ***

I totally love, not so much how you make me stretch your words into pictures, but how you make me link those pictures into a plausible surreal narrative. Then too, each phrase is a delightful circus of meaning in its own right. I mentioned before that this is how ancient oracles spoke.

sorry for taking so long to reply but was chatting to a melon and twenty six buffalo!! ha ha......!! (written stuff since that I will later post).... This was one amazing comment from yourself full of compliments!! I googled ancient oracles! Am quite intrigued! Thought well knew it was stream of consciousness as studied European writing a while ago at degree level and enjoyed it.... I never really knew what to do with the stuff that I write!! Thought it would be fun to put it on a site such as this...WILL at some point read your works...BUT life at this point is bouncing like a ping pong ball!! (no I dont do drugs!) .....Lovely comment and cheers )) My husband and father always wanted me to do something with the stuff that clogs up my phone OR gathers dust in A4 pads....soz for the lengthy essay of a response!! )
