Where is his brother?
In the tub.
Shirley Temple!

This is the beginning of a ditty about a weird occuring dream I’ve had throughout my days as Justin Little of Earth. I just began writing it a couple days ago. I like the consonance and alliteration.
Melismatic flock of flies flys by.
I listen to it’s wings’ low cries.
Terrapin of the sea, he sees me.
I listen to his songs of glee.
“To keep the snakes away,” he’d say,
So we could enjoy, remainder of the day.
The snakes uptake with heavy rakes
But flee and flake at notes that Turtle makes.
Here’s a poem I wrote. It was recognized as a semi-finalist in the William Faulkner Writing Competition this year.
Peck of Dirt
Rejoice my soul! Spring from the earth.
^Good shit, Shay.
A pic i took!

Hey!

I don’t remember. Possibly.
I can’t imagine any other retailer stocking blue ice trays.
some shit i wrote when i was feeling pensive one night…

Sometimes, those still times,
I
ooh, another one! this one’s my favorite. i wrote this when i was in a deep Nick Cave phase a couple years ago…
THE GIRL FROM THE SEA
Well as I recall it was mid-late fall,
The year 1973
I was a little boy of seven years,
Just as curious as you please
Now as I ran thru the fields and laughed with the ghosts
And talked with the Old Oak Tree,
The yellow moon rose up over the hill,
And a spell it did put on me
Under silver light of that autumn moon
I saw a path leading thru the trees
And that October wind, she began to blow
And laid her icy fingers on me
Just then a ghostly voice whispered in my ear:
I finally got me a website!
take a look at the links page (listed as “others”)
there’s a lot of great work out there that friends of mine have done!
Icculus??? it’s the guy on the screen over there!!!

I’ve tried to respond to this a few times. I really like it, but it’s hard to comment on what it is that intrigues me about it. What’s the deal, freehand oil painting?
