Sidey’s Weekend Theme – 09.09.2011: The Curly Bits
http://viewfromtheside.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/weekend-theme-37/
The curly witch
Had a curly nose
With curly fingers
And with curly toes
*
Her ears were curly
And so was her hat
She lived at home
With her curly cat
*
And the curly witch
She fried some bacon
‘cos she loved to eat
All the crispy, crunchy, munchy curly bits
*

Denise – why on earth apologise for such a lovely sketch – full of curliness!
I enjoyed this so much I showed June, and she loved the whole thing.
We shall read / show it to our grandchildren, and they will no doubt enjoy it,
as will your grandchildren.
Loved it!

I won’t make excuses then, but suffice it to say it didn’t take 5 minutes altogether, rhyme and drawing. Thank you John for being such a good friend and I’m glad June liked it too. 😉

I have found that the best poetry, art, and prose comes through us sometimes in LESS than 5 minutes…Muse is a wonderful thing, I love this curly little diversion from all the overly intellectualized jargon, and political negativity flying around these days.

You are right, Paul. I was just playing the fool on a piece of paper when I did this. But of all that I have written so far, the ones I consider the best all virtually wrote themselves!
Yes, indeed, bacon, bacon, bacon! Mmmmn.
Bless you, and thanks for the visit.

Even if it were for fun, you touched a good subject Denise. Perhaps you have heard of Fractals… Nature by its volition is not Euclidean. Every surface you watch is curly, curvy haphazard but not circular, square or rectangular. They are only our approximations to the ideal. Thus, not only your curly witch, all of us are all curly… curvy… (every bit of us).

Mark, if you promise you won’t tell anyone, I can’t either! You know, after I started blogging, I came across someone who wrote poetry and wished I could do it too. Next thing I tried and have been doing it ever since. Make no mistake, I am very much an amateur though, hahaha! Lovely to have you on board! 😀

BTW: That “cat” looks like a floppy haired rabbit. 😉

I’m sorry you had a sad day, Nancy, and glad that this helped a little… 🙂
Btw, I can usually copy things, but when it comes to drawing from imagination I need loads more practice. I had the ears, but when I tried to curl the points I made a right mess up! Plus it is literally years since I drew anything! 😦

You know when my children were little I used to make up stories and think to myself that ‘one day…’ because it was so easy. Now I think I’ve lost that ability. You know the saying ‘If you don’t use it, you lose it’!
