Friday, July 24, 2015. Summer Lets Down Her Hair. Summer Lets Down Her Hair. By F Scott Fitzgerald. This Side of Paradise. Here, Earth-born, over the lilt of the water,. Lisping its music and bearing a burden of light,. Bosoming day as a laughing and radiant daughter. Here we may whisper unheard, unafraid of the night. Walking alone . was it splendor, or what, we were bound with? Deep in the time when summer lets down her hair? Shadows we loved and the patterns they covered the ground with. This app does...

Poetry Friday: Elephant
http://sallymurphy.com.au/2015/08/poetry-friday-elephant
Sally Murphy, Australian author. August 14, 2015. I woke up this morning with the words of one of my poems going through my head. Why this one? I don’t know. Maybe I was dreaming about elephants, or maybe an elephant was dreaming about me. Who knows? Anyway, since it’s Poetry Friday, I thought I’d share the opening of the poem:. Elephant is stomping;. He is stomping and he’s clomping. He is stomping, clomping, bomping. And he’s scaring the poor. Lion he is roaring. He is roaring and he’s pawing. Thanks M...

Dori Reads: August 2015
http://dorireads.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 14, 2015. The frogs are still singing. Still hot around here for a while longer. Be kind and tender to the Frog,. And do not call him names,. As "Slimy-skin," or "Polly-wog,". Or likewise, "Uncle James,". Or "Gape-a-grin,' or Toad-gone-wrong,". The frog is justly sensitive. To epithets like these. No animal will more repay. A treatment kind and fair,. At least so lonely people say. Who keep a Frog (and, by the way,. They are extremely rare). Links to this post. Friday, August 7, 2015.

Dori Reads: October 2014

Friday, October 31, 2014. I'm feeling like a little silliness today. Something to lighten the darkness of the week and make us smile. Enjoy! The ever-so-lovely Linda Baie hosts the round up today at TeacherDance. Hopscotch to Oblivion by Andy Wright, Sheffield, UK. Some primal termite knocked on wood. And tasted it, and found it good,. And that is why your Cousin May. Fell through the parlor floor today. Suppose the Ceiling went Outside. And then caught Col and Up and Died? And one for Halloween:. You ar...

Dori Reads: Ice on a Hot Poetry Friday
http://dorireads.blogspot.com/2015/06/ice-on-hot-poetry-friday.html
Thursday, June 4, 2015. Ice on a Hot Poetry Friday. It's hot here these days, so I'm thinking about cool, icy places again. Enjoy! By Dennis Webster (shared on the Antarctic-Circle. The penguin is an awkward bird. At least, that's what I've always heard. It swims and waddles, never flies,. When other birds act otherwise. Its workday outfit seems so formal. And that, I think, is hardly normal. It keeps its egg upon its feet. Which doesn't sound so very neat. Still, I guess the penguin does its best. A Yea...

Dori Reads: February 2015
http://dorireads.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. I have a bad case of spring fever, and it's not even spring yet. My daffodils are blooming in spite of the temperatures. They've counted the hours of daylight and confirmed it's time to lift their heads look for what the groundhog could not see. Bring me fifty shades of green, sweet longed-for Spring. I'm not alone in my wishing. Take a moment and enjoy a few thoughts on spring and wish with me, then pop over and visit Heidi at My Juicy Little Universe. For more Poetry Friday.
