-Diet Coke with Splenda. Okay, I don’t love it, but I would drink it again, and it was fun that Brandon and Sarah made sure I tried it because it combines two things that are very popular at our house. Mike, of course, being the Diet Coke purist that he is, doesn’t like it at all.
-The Ordering of Love. So, maybe I do like poetry a little bit. I spent 20 minutes in Barnes and Noble one day looking at this book (that I have been wanting since the moment I heard about it), and Mike had a store credit that I used to buy it yesterday. Poetry has been popping up quite a bit lately, poetry that I have enjoyed, even. There was a poem on Lauren Winner’s blog that I enjoyed a lot last week, too. Maybe I’m not a hopeless case. I would actually love it if some of my friends gave me copies of their favorite poetry books for me to read . . . like I said in the comments on that earlier post, I need a hook when it comes to poetry. Help hook me in!

Two things to your two more good things:
1) You are a poetry person. I warned you, one more time and that was it!
2) I had regualr Diet Coke last night. I was awful. I want my Diet Coke back.
I KNEW you were going to call me out on being a poetry person. hehe.
As you should! I mean… one who claims who isnt a poetry person doesnt talk about poetry nearly as often as you do. It would be like me saying Im not a chick-lit person. Be true to yourself Kari!
I wrote a KILLER poem for you when you hurt your foot in the library.. do I need to dig that up again..
Yes, Trey, please do. hehe.
Who hurt her foot in the library?
Kari
They said take care, or you’ll loose it
Keep it packed in ice and don’t use it
Wash it everyday in Iodine and keep it hydrated
And whatever you do keep it elevated
Be nice to your foot it, maybe sing to it
Take care of your foot or you’ll loose it
They said we know it must be scary
Kari
She didn’t pack in ice and she used it
She never washed it once I bet
She never sang to it, not even one song
She woke up this morning and her foot was gone.
Her foot was last seen hopping a train out of town
It was wrinkled and crinkled and dried up and brown
Be nice to your feet whatever you do
Or you’ll loose yours too.
pure genius!
Wow . . . you still have it. Bravo!
The Baumanns are the first people I thought of when I saw Diet Coke with Splenda.
Oo, I hate that this is an older post, cause I’m not so sure you’ll be reading 6 year old comments, but if you by chance do, I am not a poetry fan. I can appreciate it, but I don’t love it.
That is, except Derek Walcott. I discovered his poetry, and I actually get it, and it’s beautiful.
