Another new year at the Blender of Love!
I've been dating a Russian gal for some time now... Year of government mandated atheism
has led the Russians to focus on New Year's as their main gift-giving holiday. I think that's pretty cool, a holiday anyone who shares our calendar can get
behind...but I'm still having to teach her about the whole kiss-at-midnight thing.
Another fine month of works ended 2005, and some of the best
is gracing our front page. Also there's a small Ramble for your hopeful enjoyment,
a Sophomoric Philisophical Bull Session of the Moment that I actually cribbed from my personal site. But....I added a heart cartoon, so obviously that makes it
worth checking out.
As always, read and enjoy!

the stars are beautiful, but the sky is vast and empty
- Bernie Taupin and iammyself
A wrinkle time, a nod to the Trekkers.. One of my favorite titles for a work this month.
Before Me
- sassy
The old story of jealousy of the past, no matter how could the present might be.
Wrestling the Grizzly
- B.K.
It ain't the nature channel but it's still a nice work.
Beautiful, Invisible You
- Star of David
Melancholy work....the title makes me think. With beauty being often regarded as a visual characteristic, is it kind of one of those "Invisible Pink Unicorn, how do you know it's pink" situations?
and now you're asking me to save the date
- Violet
I'd say this is a case of mourning the loss of what-ifs and mighta-beens.
brian eno and desert night
- chris
Meditation from an arid land.
trail of kisses
- cryingshame58
"crumbs of seduction"
WISTFUL(L) MOON
- j. knipp
Moon, June, Spoon...well, not really. Fine brief prose piece.
an epiphany with a caveat
- aparajita
A close shave.
ghost of christmas past
- darwin
I guess Christmas memories can be haunting when they're just memories.
That Kiss Turned Everything All Serious, Didn't It?
- Irongirl
My other favorite title for a work this month.
perfect plan went wrong
- i'm just him
So often I'l read a work by ijm and start thinking "not bad...maybe a little trite" only to be totally knocked over by the last line or two.
He's really the O Henry of little wistful romantic poems.
Cotton Candy
- darby
Bad for your teeth.
Listen: How to be a Poet
- Mandi
Submitted by iammyself.
Sometimes I think starting a stanza "Listen" is one of the best little...well, not quite gimmicks, but tools to be used from time to time from a poet's toolbox.
Disappearing Wishes(For a Gift)
- Marshall Hann
Submitted by blessed23.
More good use of asides and clarifications.
Jimbo
- Duke Kiowa
"Dire Straights of Rebates". A little fun with tone and rhymes.
New Tattoo
- jwb71913
Ink on skin. Bumping off of Duke Kiowa's work.
Featured Blender Ramble
Sophomoric Philisophical Bull Session of the Moment...
