Welcome to Litsy!

Another movie themed haiku for today — this time, my favorite horror movie, Psycho.

With a creak, the chair
slowly swivels to reveal
Mother — boy‘s best friend.

If you‘ve seen Fleetwood Mac‘s The Dance concert, you know what I‘m trying to capture. The layers of love, hurt, love, longing, hurt, love. Played out on stage. Among all four. But especially between these two.

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.”

Some poetry, some forensic anthropology mystery, some cinnamon milk & almond thins. Relaxing into Monday. Sleep well my friends. 😴

This is a library book i‘ve been working through. I won‘t make it to the end, at 780 pages. But I enjoyed the William Blake section, and I‘m now reading the William Wordsworth section. All new to me, other than Tyger Tyger, burning bright…

My current audiobook. I started this past week. The author, John Higgs, seems like a character, with many talents. He‘s really into and excited about the psychology of Blake, who was very much interested in his own vision and the visual world of his own mind. It‘s been fun. I read some Blake poetry along with this, and he has really added to my (still limited) understanding.

So funny and true.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I‘m not a huge poetry fan, but Ocean Vuong gets me everytime. Some poems hit harder than others. While not as good as Night Sky With Exit Wounds, I really enjoyed this.

Hearing him speak in 2022 transformed the way I think about poetry and he was very insistent that everyone can be a writer/poet - you just have to write! It really inspired me.
