Another fine month for works, as you can see from the selection below.

Plus this month we feature a quick hit review of a classic romantic film, The Way We Were. From Babs to Maynard Ferguson, it's in there!

As always, read and enjoy!
--Kirk, Blender-Keeper     
  












  
Once Me - Ali
"With every lyric / I could muster, I've loved some part of you"... nice.

LIFTOFF - B.K.
I'm always a sucker for the odd astronaut metaphor.

his morning coffee - darwin
Kind of the flipside of the B.K.'s work.

"the little monster" - willtobe1
"Sex is the little monster under everybody's bed"...

Indian Summer - briana kassia
Some wonderful sense imagery.

forbidden fruit is always in season - chris
A lot of works have their best stuff at the end, but I love the middle stanza of this one.

hot, sunny days - musicalduck
I'm going to miss hot sunny days.

BREATHE! - rennielorca
Breathing is good.

dead end on dark alleys than crossroads in wide highways - lilla
Questions hunting for answers.

yearning - aparajita
How things creep on you.

Leave me alone - blakey
Relatively few submissions on the 'Blender make rhymes work, but this one has a lovely lilting ending.

Incredibly Broken - Irongirl
This piece has a lot to like but I think it was the Space Needle reference that grabbed me, having just returned from a Seattle business trip.

my dance with the devils daughter - i'm just him
Another nice close by i.j.h. Ever danced with the devil's daughter in the pale moon light?

Letter I wouldn't bother to send and he wouldn't bother to read - Abogada / Abogadalbny
Not the happiest note to end on this month, but a tough nugget of a prose piece.


Blender Feature Review
"The Way We Were"... the way movies were, before they all had to have easy endings.
