Here comes the holiday season, and another issue of the Blender of Love Digest.
And your [insert appropriate holiday here] gift is a terrific set of poetry and prose...a really excellent selection this month.
This month features a guest ramble by Gala, a musing on dealing with the holiday season while down
on your romantic luck.
As always, Read and Enjoy!

Who knows how to make love stay?
- Tom Robbins
Excerpts from "Still Life With Woodpecker"
hilltop on a cloudless night
- Kirk
My humble attempt at emulating Robbins, a long time ago.
Monday
Breathe You
Two works by juan d'fule..."Monday" is especially lovely, but I can't resist the skinny dip reference in "Breathe You".
Chain of Thought
- hollywoodfox
I love the closing five lines of this work.
giving it voice
- galadrial
"Some people simply have a way with words"
Galadrial wrote while describing this work...and as Steve Martin
added, "and others...oh, uh, not have way, I guess."
my safe haven
- darwin
Another fine little prose work. But either my tastes are simply changing, or NPR is overrated. A little. Do I need to hand in my offical token liberal/moderate card now?
Quote on one of my favorite words PASSION!
Two quots found by B.K., including this
month's top of the page quote.
so we kiss
- chris
Off the top of my head I can't remember a work that does as good of a job at painting a scene as this one does.
Heartbreak or Heartsongs
- Ali
I'm running out of intelligent things to say, so I'll just say...remember that Looney Tune where Daffy dresses up as Pocahontas and says "Me Pocahontas love-um! ... marry, raise-um little 'poca-chips'!"? Weird what sticks in your head through all the years.
Closure
- angieubaldo
I can never bring myself to delete stored email...
Holidays Equal Loneliness
- ThoughtFull
Ugh...this piece on divorce and the holidays really hit home...
pointless
- Lauren
Submitted by rthoseflipflops.
Nice use of nine words.
What Matters
- cryingshame58
Seven words now? What is this, "Name That Tune"?
intimate distance
- Violet
Shades of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being".
Because They Killed the Bull of Heaven
- Misti
No one has an eye for brand-dropping like Misi.
Fun With Dog Physics
- jwb71913
Delightful playfulness in the content and use of rhymes.
Blender Ramble
Blue Christmas. "When All You Want Is Love For Christmas.", a guest ramble by Gala.
Heart on Sleeve Corner
185 more heartsongs sent to the Blender last month.
