Pistachios. How is editing a poem like enjoying pistachios?

Work is necessary to get to the sweetmeat.
You have something tangible (as in taste) when you finish.
The resulting color surprises (delightfully).


What might not be evident --pistachios & mangoes are in the same family. Both are vitamin-rich sources for editing & enjoying a poem.

  1. Personal Myth (6)

    You're no sooner disconnected than it summons you back. You conjure up the strangest story you've ever heard and tell it to them gathered around. Fire blazes the rocks beneath the lobsters and their faces leak the sea.

    They take a walk on a random trail and see some gulls, an egret, pipers, and a balloon. There is undertow, big waves, good tidings, mist and the hint of winter. Fright turns into solitude, thinking of its own condition.

    A great calm is felt inside, as it might be within a shell or at the edge of a journey, or in the middle of an arc drawn from one star to another. Hands are cupped around warm liquids, and the origin of native plants comes into play.
