If you read enough of the ads (something o=f a hobby; yeah, I know, weird), you begin to understand the lingo. You know, "cozy" means small as hell. "Fixer-upper" means a total disaster. you know. So I decided to play with it a bit. <br /><br />I wondered when I wrote this if readers would pick up on the swings between sadness and sarcasm, playfulness and tragedy. <br /><br />I guess I needn't have worried.PattiKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894925987580502697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5798063279768967876.post-71712005573945565842010-10-13T13:02:07.529-04:002010-10-13T13:02:07.529-04:00What a fun creative mind you have.

Your poems are always so creative, and you always seem to put together important themes in novel ways.
