That was pretty much my life as a fisher girl-less the fog. I quit fishing when no one would take the fish off the hook for me, and after my dad tried to show me how to "clean" a fish. Yeah, what they don't tell you is that you have to end it's life...what kind of a double standard do I have if I can eat a fish that someone else killed, but can't kill one of my own to eat? ;)Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324132564239706901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892350449874117579.post-76519796904663093052007-06-19T14:45:00.000-04:002007-06-19T14:45:00.000-04:00What can I say?

Will you write my eulogy if I die young?! I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss you and your passion and drive. Maybe we should start a lit circle of our own, or hone in on someone elses...that way we can keep "fire in the belly" going on and on and on and on.... :)Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324132564239706901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892350449874117579.post-1704139441682519152007-06-09T20:38:00.000-04:002007-06-09T20:38:00.000-04:00Kathy --So cool that you're writing your own poetr...Kathy --<BR/>So cool that you're writing your own poetry & thatyou are brave enough to post it for the world to see.

After reading your ode I feel as if I have a glimpse of her persona.

She is such a deep thinker that an ode just seemed appropriate. When I looked up the definition of an ode, it said something like "lofty feeling". The poem actually flowed last night right before bed. Most my creative stuff comes then for some reason! I thought aboutthe naturalist thing...but that's yours, not mine.Kathy Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048581226559774602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892350449874117579.post-49473928720945700472007-06-08T11:32:00.000-04:002007-06-08T11:32:00.000-04:00Oh, but you forgot the naturalist that is Ingrid. ...Oh, but you forgot the naturalist that is Ingrid. Perhaps you can swing something that rhymes with granola! Love the poem though Kathy, you did great. Did it flow or did you just have to hack away at it? I find that I will decide what has inspired the poem (a person, phrase, a noun, emotion, etc.) and then I do a brainstorm of all things about it and then I write the poem.<BR/>Great poetry though!Sarah Amickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448996968479036346noreply@blogger.com
