The cat photographs alone inspire me, then there’s the music, and finally the unique sense of humor. Frizzenglish indeed!!!!
I’m surprised by the good service of the browser app from http://www.grammarly.com – it’s not easy for me to write English because I’m German. I started to learn English by writing a daily blog. In English, because in my hometown the politicians did not allow to use the title “COME TOGETHER” for a local music festival. They forced the musicians to use German language. Since I write consistently English. And I’m happy because I noticed: I have readers and they do understand me. I have to admit that I’m surprised because I’m writing a special “Frizzenglish”.

golden daffodils,
sunflowers, dandelions,
forsythia’s climb!
The soil feels sweet in my hands
as I push little marigolds in.
Bumblebees stir in the sour cherry
blossoms floating like pieces of moon
Marge Piercy

Tornado
by Greg Watson
Just beyond the hem of the lake’s blue skirt
the sky turned suddenly jaundiced,
a weighted stillness, not quite your own,
descended, and even the black pine
and birch hovered motionless
in a calm that bore no calmness at all.
And for what must have been the briefest
of moments you gazed, a child of seven,
transfixed on the sinewy black thread
of the storm, its form swaying,
tearing the fabric of the horizon,
throwing bits of cloud and gravel dust
as dogs and kids scurried into the small, white cabins
which suddenly looked as though they were
made to be thrown all along, something
stolen from the set of someone else’s epic.
And years later you would not remember
how it was you were pulled indoors,
or whose arm it was that lifted you
with the force of a blow bringing you to safety,
nor how the storm at once lifted, lifted,
like a needle from a phonograph
above the roofs of trees still trembling;
and when you looked out again
it was through brown sheets of mud
slapped across the windows
the dark fragrance of earthworms
seeping through the slats,
beyond which the world shone as green
and peaceful as it ever would again.

searing heat seeks flames
licks carbon-slurps dew-drops: won’t
let go- surrender.
Grass grows in the night
and early the mockingbirds begin
their fleet courtships over puddles,
upon wires, in the new green
of the Spanish limes.

Charming frizztext, as usual:
Some use the social media for sharing photos or exploring music. My heart is touched by those who tell stories which I can’t forget.
One of them is living in Austria. I would prefer to get every morning a little story by him! Yes, his art is to write with such a method, that everything remains in my memory, whereas I forget 1,000 other things. Maybe it’s the attention to detail, the genuine nature, directness: as his wife was shocked because in the night the house was flooded. It was hard to escape. Or there are descriptions how his cat-society works. How they have their patrols, how they suffer if one of them was killed by a car on the road. Maybe everyone could describe how stupid bureaucrats are acting or how clinic bullies are hurting. My favorite Austrian blogger describes how he is working with his tractor on his…
