...and a few more thoughts pertaining to the world of arts and letters...

Some time later, after I posted that cute l'il bit of jotting below, two more wonderful sites provided further fodder for my fertile imagination.  Poets United Think Tank Thursday was looking for poems inspired by quotes and quotations, and Theme Thursday's prompt was books.

Taking that as her cue, my muse whispered, "Carl Sandburg," in my ear, and the rest is epigraph history.

Clerihew for a Poet

I’ve written some poetry I don’t understand myself. ~Carl Sandburg

Thus, Carl Sandburg wrote,

(to paraphrase his quote)

“I don’t always ‘git it’

even if I writ it.”

A Shore Thing*

A book is never a masterpiece; it becomes one. ~Carl Sandburg

There once was a woman named Snooki

who was kind of an arts/letters rookie.

But she got a book deal

which I still find surreal

since her talent is more about nookie.

I doubt that her book makes ‘the list’

and in fact, it should just be dismissed.

But this stuff seems to sell

even if it is hell

and it’s penned by a true solipsist.
