Ari-Wood
Welcome to Ari-Wood. Step right up and see the sights. To your left, you will see the delicate fragility of fairy land. On the right, watch out for the fiery dragons. For your safety, we recommend you stay on the path and don't stray into the netherworlds of risk and chance. Alternatively, perhaps you like the benefits that go along with taking that chance..........

All rights to the poetry and stories in Ari-Wood
belong exclusively to the author.


That which is not mine,
That which is not good,
That which is not altruistic....
Is requested to leave.

The stories and poems encased in this crystal blog are written from my own imagination and in no way are intended to be viewed as written to any specific person unless I specifically state that it is.

My heart is a book which you leaf through as simply as the pages of this blog..

Antiqued an worn
The words bleed
From a hidden place
Deep within my chapters
Where only one can see
And whispering spirits tarry

Frayed are my edges
Yet my gliding
Remains beautiful
Not a mere ornament
But a testament to the tooling
Which has geared my life

Sown tightly is my binding
I have weathered the years
I shine with wisdom an character
Like no other book
Yet my cover bares the marks
Of ordinary use

Turn my pages lightly
And you shall read
My hued memories
Of dreams and dreaminess
Of times and timelessness
Of lives and liveliness

Upon my inner pages
Are scribbled
Achromatic dreams
My love
My hopes
My life

You are such a treasured book
All my love, Sister of my heart
(Written by a special sister of my heart...MsAlchemy2...a special gift...I wanted to share.)

So...doctor's appointment today. Have I mentioned lately that I loathe the doctor? If they stick me with one more needle....or try to scan one more body part....I am going to explode. So far, so good....even if I am the world's most disagreeable patient.

Then I went to Home Depot and bought some recessed lights for my front porch...since I have to redo the wood soffit....I may as well put in lights I can live with instead of those crazy motion detector thingies. I also bought a couple of books....about redoing and finishing hardwood floors....I have a beautiful hardwood floor under my crappy carpet in the living room....and about home improvements...so I can learn how to put in the recessed lights on my front porch.

I stop at the cash register to pay my bill...and this little bitty old man walks up....all stooped over...must have been at least 70...thin....frail....and he asks..."Are you really going to read those books?"

"Well yeah....I plan on it."

"Why?"

"Because I own my house and things need fixing in it and I need to learn how to fix them."

"Wow. I'm impressed. You really going to do that?"

"Yes...I really plan to do that."

"Well...if you ever get really good at it...you come back here and I'll marry you."

At this point I'm choking on laughter and trying to be serious. The cashier has her hand over her mouth but her eyes are dancing.

"Well now....splain something to me. If I ever get really good at fixing my house....why would I want to get married?"

"I'll explain that to you after we're married."

I have to admit....I turned beet red and he certainly laughed me out of the store. I'm never going to be nice to little old men again. When y'all get old....I'm going to just kick you in the shins and move on.....
