Life is not a dress rehearsal.

“The stars are still dancing somewhere overhead tonight.”

  —  my best friend, about me being unable to see the meteor shower tonight

❤

A high school friend told me last night that she googles my poetry when she misses me.

That might be the sweetest compliment I’ve received in a long time.

Late night memos make me a garrulous Batman.

“I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver

stream.

“I can tell by the mark he left you were in his

dream.”

—  John Perry Barlow

Poetry is taking life by the throat.

— Robert Frost
