I watched this today (amidst fighting demons), and I enjoyed it, but am not offering to do a review in poetry. You can read about it here 🙂

Live Mudcrab
It is so much fun
Going to the store
And finding crates
Of mudcrabs alive
And kicking or at
Least moving around

And steamed and
Presented on a
Plate to eat
Shell and all
Not!
Movie Review: Birdman
I finally somehow created the time to see Birdman at an odd time on a weekday. I can see why it’s getting so much recent award love. The first hour gave me a revealing and intimate perspective on the craft of acting that I haven’t seen before. The second hour focuses on flawed people trying to deal with reality; an ironic tale of what’s it like to try to have a real life when you’re a professional pretender. I can see why some critics wouldn’t be great fans of it, but I can also see why people in “the biz” love it. To really understand why the movie is suddenly gaining Oscar momentum for the coveted Best Picture award, you have to understand the interesting, insular town where all this voting is done.

Choosing to Live
Every day when I
Awake my beating heart reflects
My choice to live
Lilac
Taken with my iPhone
Decorating the
World with bursts of beauty bright –
Cascading lilac
Once Upon A Time
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Once Upon a Time.”
Once upon a time
In a land far away
Prince Charming swept me off my feet
And away from unwedded bliss
Thirteen years later with
Two minions and a new life
In a new country –
We celebrated not killing each other
And lived happily ever after
The end
Fake Charm
Take a look at me
At my eyes and my face
And you will see
That I am a shell
Of the person I used to be
From when you entered my life
Uninvited and unannounced
And left again, a whirlwind
Of destruction, leaving your
Fake charm and smile
Fluttering in my heart
Like autumn leaves
Blowing in the wind
