Doris Culverhouse Poet Light Verse

Read At Your Own Risk

Association with poets can lead to certain health risk, writer's cramp, alphabetism,
writer's block, and most importantly staring at the one eyed monster until eye strain 
develops. Treat with bananas and no doze prn. Traveling to varied and exotic places 
is often prescribed for writer's block with a small percentage of success reported. The 
rest of those treated reportedly ran off with an island god/goddess and were never 
heard from again. 
If I am not heard from again, you know where to find me...

*My husband says it looks like a bowl of ice cream--well it is suppose to be a beach 
with the sun setting. Hope you can see it!

Lynette Chachere April 18, 2010 at 4:07 PM lol. good one, so clever. i have 5 to 4 months of a writers block on this website where people write novels on. well, it takes a bit longer thann poetry, so that should be why, and i have other things to do, so imagine how long it would take me to type up even one chapter compared to one poem.lol.more than half the hours it takes me for a poem.yes, im crazy.i hope i don't ever go on vacation here, don't think i will if i keep thinking.very clever poem. -Always&Forever Lynette

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen March 30, 2010 at 4:49 AM Doris, I just had to revisit this. SMILES. If this looks like a bowl of ice cream, what I want to know is who puts toothpick in their ice cream? It looks like sun rays to me! It reminds me of my teenage years when I was first learning how to apply paint to canvass-ette. Someone dear to me told me that my work looked like garbage. Hurt in heart, my next painting was for him...a garbage can. But we both grew up. He repented, I kept trying to paint, and we are happy in our old age. (Siblings.)

Andrea Dietrich March 28, 2010 at 10:32 PM I think I thought of water and that picture was a fish or submarine. hahaha. Bowl of icecream it could be AND the sun setting I can now see too. Haha. Very charming. LUv, Andrea

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen March 27, 2010 at 6:58 PM I see it. Doris! What a fun write. SMILES. Keep the art work going...it's great. Lovingly, Dane Ann

Carolyn Devonshire March 27, 2010 at 7:46 AM I'm ready to join you in that "exotic place," Doris. Thanks for the lovely image, too. As for sleeping, it comes hard for me. Have a sleep disorder and often get up in the middle of the night. I can appreciate the sentiments in your words here! Love, Carolyn

John Freeman March 26, 2010 at 8:02 PM Haaaaaaaaaaaa! I think you had it going in this one Doris. Writing poetry one needs to put up a Hazmat placard. In case you don't know what that is, it is a small sign that is placed on truck and trailer hauling hazardous material. Agape, Moses
