“Don’t say that,” Ginger advised her brother, Peter, “there are worse things in the world than being single.”

Peter stared at his half empty cup of tea and sighed. To be honest, life had been pretty good to Peter.

“How do you write a letter on the spur of the moment? And then post it? On the spur of the moment?”
― Edward Davies, The Girlfriend Wager

“It’s nearly ten in the morning, and you’re going to have to get up anyway,” Rob informed him, “Isla usually comes over on a Friday to walk with me to class.”

“That’s lovely,” Adrian said sardonically, “but I’m still not getting up.”

“She’ll be here by eleven.” Rob added.

“Then I’ll get up at eleven.” Adrian rolled over, pulling more of the duvet under his chin, “Maybe.”

“Well, I’m sick of beer,” Adrian said flatly, “so I thought I’d use turning nineteen as an excuse to try something different.”

“Like drinking a twelve year old girl’s drink,” Rob commented between gulps of his drink.”

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
