Mine was written after watching Seasons 1 and 2 of "The Walking Dead" back to back all of last week. Haha! Throw in the 40C temps, and the fact that the town's water supply has been cut-off after a severe thunderstorm washed away the pipes on Friday night, and you might have an inkling of my Dystopian vision. It was the weeds growing on the turrets of Izzy's building which tied up all the connections.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-45571843943613466812012-01-15T06:02:29.064-06:002012-01-15T06:02:29.064-06:00I'll agree with Hedge that the lead poem by Is...I'll agree with Hedge that the lead poem by Isadora is hard to post next to -- savage garden indeed, the heart eking its way in this world. I went for a photo in Gruye's online portfolio that probably is one of the shadows in her poem -- and sing it from the other shore.
