My favorite birds, by the way, are bluebirds (cuz their so vividly blue, and cute, too). Then Stellar Jays (vividly blue and stunningly majestic), and robins (cuz they have interesting personalities). I actually like doing memes, but I don’t do the assigning-them-to-others part.

If you ask me my favorite poems, I'll probably draw a blank. But then as the events of my life unfold, I will be prompted to remember and quote them. "When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state...." "When I consider how my light is spent in this dark world and wide And that one talent which is death to hide lodg'd with me useless...." "I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky..." "Whose woods these are, I think I know, His house is in the village though, He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow...." And others like them. They roll and tumble and skip and tiptoe through my brain at odd moments, amusing and bringing pleasure as I tell them over again, like beads on a rosary. Sometimes poetry’s like that for me.

On the other hand, it does serve a nice purpose in connecting bloggers to each other, revealing a bit more of themselves and forming a more active circle.

I could complete one at one time, and if I redid it the next day, it would seem as if someone else filled in the blanks. Same with favorites. My favorite people stay the same, but everything else changes with the day or the mood. Although I always like Neil Diamond best as a singer - unless it's a day that I like Josh Groban best.
