“When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season.”

[larryhammer]

Poetry Monday returns to land at last:


Proverbial, Wendy Videlock

It’s always darkest before the leopard’s kiss.

Where there’s smoke there is emphasis.

A bird in the hand is bound for the stove.

The pen is no mightier than the soul.

Never underestimate the nib of corruption.

Better late than suffer the long introduction.

All work and no play is the way of  the sloth.

If  you can dream it bring the child the moth.

He is not wise that parrots the wise.

All that glitters has been revised.

An idle mind is a sign of  the time.

The less things change the more we doubt design.


—L.

I like this.

So do I. A good one overall.

That is fabulous--thank you for sharing. I laughed at "Better late than suffer the long introduction," and "A bird in the hand is bound for the stove" is pretty funny too.

"If you can dream it bring the child the moth" is dreamlike indeed, wistful-making, and has a hint of profundity that just won't make itself clear--like most profundity.

All that glitters has been revised--truth.
