Wowzers!
It feels like it has been forever since I have been on Xanga. I barely remembered how to log on!! Anyway like has been throwing rocks at me and I've been dodging them! Had lots of stuff going on both good and bad and it has kept me away for a couple months but lets just talk about the good! Book signing in December went great! The turnout was amazing and I couldn't have been more pleased. I will put some pics up of that in a couple days. Also the ezine I edit poetry for liquid-imagination.com has its second issue out and that is going wonderfully too. Check it out sometime! Anyway, I'm glad to be back and will try my best to catch up on everyone......now here's a quick poem.
My Dog is Chewing on a Cup
I’m busting at the seams
My skirt is too tight
It must have shrunk
Yeah, that is a good excuse
My skirt is too tight
Work sucks, but I manage to get dinner on
That is a good excuse
Kids are arguing with the wind
Work sucks, but I manage to get dinner on
I stub my toe
Kids are arguing with the wind
I check their homework
I stub my toe
Why can’t I breathe?
I check their homework
And the room is spinning
Why can’t I breathe?
I haven’t had a drop in 6 years
And the room is spinning
My dog is chewing on a cup
I haven’t had a drop in 6 years
Everything will be alright
My dog is chewing on a cup
I just laugh, life is good
Even though I’m busting at the seams

Welcome back!!
Sometimes all it takes is to notice a simple thing to make everything better,so well expressed in this poem.

Good job, Chrissy.

Ok, I don't want to be a bad influence here, but shoot if your poem don't remind me how God made a certain plant for Mothers! And the Law done took it away! Well, I say, stay away from the cup! They're made for pens and pencils!
Welcome back!! Can't wait for more!
people ask me why i laugh all the time....i just say why not even if life is pulling left and right...there is never a reason not to smile and laugh if one has the right eyes to sea things =) yes i know spoken truly like a crazy man hehehe
its good to see you posting again =)
mmmm well there were good things and bad things for you.. but good things kinda eluded me in the last couple of months. So I was trying to figure that out. Well... in everyway I gave up and decided.. leave all that and let me enjoy every bit of what I get. Who am I to tell or decide what is good and bad. In someway everything is good. So I am happy and now I am also back here.
You came back with a cute little poem here.. wonderful as ever...

Welcome back I missed you too dear one. Yahoo the poetry book is going so well. I have loved reading it. Got my daughter reading it now. All is well in God;s world today so it must be in yours too. Love you, Judi
Seems I see a crazy lady turning round and round, such a vivid picture!
ryc: glad that you like the pic.
Goodness! I can relate! What a great poem!

yes, time does seem to race while life is happening! I'm glad amidst the bad you also had good. I loved how you double backed to the opening line in the end of the poem.
Sweetie, you are the perfect poetry editor for Liquid Imagination--don't let anyone fool you. You've done such a wonderful job.
Six years? Make it seven and then eight. I know the struggles. The room spun for me earlier. I ignored it until it screamed, "Look at me spinning." Lasted longer than normal, but it subsided.
Keep on keepin' on, sister!!
Your poem had to be answered separately (except for that one phrase).
Captured within is so much, almost too much at first, but that is what it is certainly intended to do--and it does expertly: it captures the stress of a moment in a raindrop of time. The line, "Why can't I breathe?" Oh, that ties it all together.
Wonderful!!
I feel your spinning.
I love this poem. Hope you come back soon. Glad the book signing went well. Congrats. Judi
I am thinking some on a clear mind too. Judi
