Imagination

Magic thinking cap
Used for creative visions
Imagination

I couldn't resist using this picture even though I am pretty
sure that this would do the exact opposite of helping to
create visions. Well, maybe scary ones!
The picture doesn't reflect at all what I was thinking when
I wrote this, but ... I LOVE this picture LOL.

Kids Next Door

Two children next door
Out playing and being kids
Too soon are grownups

This charming picture came from an old series of books Bunny Brown and
his Sister Sue by Laura Lee Hope.
Following is a link to the book that the illustration is from. The book is titled
Bunny Brown and his sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While. You can actually read
the book at the following link thanks to the Internet Archive at archive.org and
The New York Public Library.

Also, here is a link to the entire series as listed on the Goodreads website.

I know I focused the blog text on the source of the illustration but I want to
get back to what I wrote. I think it's important to keep the third line in mind.
Enough said!

My Life in Haiku #4 (Dreams)

Ugh, cancer nightmares
Where did all the good dreams go
Confused subconscious

The Scream by Edvard Munch

What blog would be complete without a picture of Edvard Munch's The Scream.
It fits so many situations so neatly doesn't it? It certainly portrays my state of mind
last night and this morning.

Here are a couple of links about the painting and the artist.
