a flower is my friend and inspires me to believe that an 18 wheeler looks like Snoopy and it’s my duty to break down that armor, unintentionally, but then it happens and we’re holding hands and am I trying to outduel your poem? Shame on me. But you inspire, as always.

Thanks Steve. I love the idea of an 18 wheeler as Snoopy. Snoopy asleep on his dog house is an image that has always stayed with me. That’s how we should be living.

Excellent….snoopy symbol….on top of his dog house, flat on his back, enjoying a joint and staring out into infinity without a worrisome thought in mind.

Haha. I’m sure there is a tattoo out there of just this scene.

I now have a excuse to ask people on the bus what their tattoo is. I wonder if people would feel invaded if I started asking?

You’ll probably get a variety of responses. But I’d be interested if you find anyone with that tattoo.

It’ll take a little social courage but ti seems like perfect timing because I just learned the word swashbuckler which apparently has something to do with daring acts. I’ll let you know if I ever see the tattoo and heck, if I have my phone with me, I’ll ask if I can take a picture.

I like the thought that there is wishing well that might work at some point in time…why does the tulip want the shark’s armour, though?!!!! 🙂

I’m not sure why. And you never know for sure when it comes to tulips. Maybe the tulip wishes it into spring sunshine? 🌞

Man, this is original stuff — as is your other stuff, too. I can saw with 99.99999999% accuracy that I’ve never read a sentence that included a shark and a tulip.

You packed a lot into 4 simple lines, making me “ponder” about the meaning. I especially like “The shark cedes to the tulip All of its armor.” I get a love conquers all vibe from it. Great little poem!

The image of the shark and tulip is fascinating…that would make a fantastic collage!
