For a...Pixies~ BB for the blues...well, absolutely. For a few years I would play Leonard Cohen's cd <em>Ten New Songs</em> when I was feeling blue. Haven't tried that lately...<br /><br />twinkly sparkles~ I am all about being honest, so I must tell you to not feel badly about not knowing this poet. I did not either until reading this poem! Can't wait to learn more about her because this poem is perfect.<br /><br />ds~ You already knew of Linda Pastan and I am envious that you have read more of her work...but I intend to catch up! <br />Will you do a picassohead of your own?<br /><br />Rob-bear~ I felt the poem in the way you described. She really pegged important but everyday things here. <br />Please do a picassohead of Bear! I cannot draw at all, and the program is so much fun to work with.<br /><br />Roxana~ It was kind of a shock to see how I interpret myself these days; I think I need a visit to the hairdresser! Glad you liked it, though. No, I do not draw or paint (I painted one still life of fruit when I was a teen that turned out pleasing enough that I hung it on my bedroom wall...I have no idea what ever happened to it). This picassohead program offers enough selections to make something of your own, and my brain was actually sparking there for a little while! Last night I returned and made a sad ghost. <br />Now, as for a self-portrait poem, would you believe that it never even entered my mind?! I found so much of myself in Linda Pastan's poem that it felt complete, until I read your comment. Now you have me thinking about this. I will let the thought bubble! Have you written a self-portrait poem? Will you be playing with picassohead?Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-48771993590355594022011-09-22T11:57:44.278-07:002011-09-22T11:57:44.278-07:00oh but that is a very good self-portrait, do you p...oh but that is a very good self-portrait, do you paint or draw too? but why not accompany it with a self-portrait poem by you? (not that i don't like the one by Linda Pastan, but i would LOVE to see how you go about writing your self-portrait :-)Roxanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650840495095863057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-82535102444615893652011-09-22T11:43:35.220-07:002011-09-22T11:43:35.220-07:00Love the poem.

I can't draw worthy anything, but I can paint with words (on a good day).Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-34255401186201405492011-09-22T08:54:55.963-07:002011-09-22T08:54:55.963-07:00Love Linda Pastan--thanks for sharing this poem.
