Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Bio

Pleasantly Weird

Pleasantly
Bull headed, bird brained, chicken and foxy
From a bramble of a family tree
A lover of Cohen, Midler and Dennis Lee
Who regularly feels awe, paralyzing angst, and humility
Fearing the end of birds singing, seasons changing and liberty
Hoping to see a Purple Martin, a Gyrfalcon, and fifty
Proudly from Vanier
Weird

Anna Hopper February 15, 2019 at 1:29 PM I love it! Weird is the best way to be. In a perfect world, you would be my neighbor and we would sit on the porch, sip whiskey and tell inappropriate jokes. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 15, 2019 at 3:00 PM Sounds absolutely divine, I'm there.

Michelle Faulkner February 1, 2019 at 3:13 PM In Portland OR, where I live, there is a saying 'Keep Portland Weird' - this makes me think 'Keep Maureen weird' because life would be a little more drab without it!
