News from the Imagi-nation
Hi Friends, Cable Guys, Blissmas Babes, Viewfinders, Hood Winks, Side Riders, On-Lookers, Cupids, Ex's, and Agnes,
It's a day of hearts, chocolate, hopes and memories, usual routines, and last minute lines at Hallmark. It's a reminder to listen to your heart, act on your dreams, be nicer to yourself and take a moment to create. Create a new thought, a new three line story, a haiku, a silly poem, a page in the book you're writing, a sketch for a new work, a photograph of your little toe. Creating is the ultimate act of joy and makes us nicer people. Dark chocolate consumption is up there too. If you don't have a valentine today, walk down the street as if the world were your valentine. Imagine that it were raining beauty and go walk in it. What would that be like? Marinate in magnificence.

Heart Murmurs
Today is the birthday of George Washington Gale Ferris, 1859, invented the Ferris Wheel. Today is dubbed Ferris Wheel Day.
Write a poem or haiku about Ferris Wheels. You have permission to write a really bad poetry. And I volunteer to set the Ferris Wheel "bar" low poetically speaking with this poem:
The Ferris wheel turns round and round
High it goes, then close to ground
I see afar when I'm at the top
But it scares me and I'm not sure the whole thing is worth it.
Make an acronym for the word HEART.. Here, I'll set the bar low on this one too:
H arvey
E ntertains
A t
R enae's
T onight
Look up and figure out your Enneagram based on just reading the qualities. Appreciate yourself by finding the page that tells what you like about being your type. www.9types.com
Word Pool:
Take these words or phrases and add more. Weave them into poetry, prose or nonsense. Break the rules:
adjust, fascinating, implore, finally, red bow, running water, mingle, figure, door stop, rumble, story, hear, no, after, fringe, red, fence, order.

Love Poetry
Making Room by Brian Andreas
When I first met her, I knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days re-arranging my mind so there'd be room for her to stay.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Half life by Stephen Levine
(We walk through half our life
as if it were a fever dream barely touching the ground our eyes half open
our heart half closed. Not half knowing who we are
we watch the ghost of us drift
from room to room
through friends and lovers
never quite as real as advertised. Not saying half we mean
or meaning half we say
we dream ourselves
from birth to birth
seeking some true self. Until the fever breaks
and the heart can not abide
a moment longer
as the rest of us awakens,
summoned from the dream,
not half caring for anything but love.
The Muse is IN

What?
What is a soul? It's like electricity - we don't really know what it is, but it's a force that can light a room. ~Ray Charles
