Dawn Powell On Deck

____________________________________________________________________________________


Fairy dust
came off the page

Must be the
words of a sage

New York is
not quite my land

But book is
THE HAPPPY
ISLAND

Author is
DAWN POWELL

Best read through
eyes of an owl 


"Or an Owliverio,"
said Mrs. CarPeo
































...
If only Jean had kept her mouth shut!
If women would only stop confessing!
But if most of them had to choose
between kissing and telling,
they would pick the telling.

  1. Revenge is a bitter pill, not prescribed.

    1. It is a better thing that the pill is non-prescription.
      Otherwise, revenge would have to meet
      strict standards.

    2. Strict or experimental?

    3. The greater the strictures, the greater the need
      for experiment and creativity.

      As true for revenge as it is for pruning a garden.
