I just thought I'd take this blog as an opportunity to share my amazing poetic talent (written while frustrated in linguistics):
I'm sitting in linguistics
learning about heuristics
and it all seems quite mystic
so it makes me go balistic
rules and sounds and articulation
don't encourage my participation
i'm just so glad I live in an English nation
because Chinkschee would fear my presentation
most of these kids learned at two
the velum, the alveolar, the glottal crew
but for me this gibberish is quite new
so I'm never quite sure what to do
I fear for my safety on the exam
for no matter how much I crunch and cram
I know that these geniuses my hope will slam
and make me go crying home to mam
So this is my letter from the heart of phonology,
when you know deep inside I'd rather be in biology
where failure is not inherent in my methodology
and I am sure of my own neurology
I was quite excited to take this class
now I fear it will drop me on my .............
(profound, I know)

I recently came across what I believe was an old blog of yours over at butterflydust77 and I have to tell you, the untitled poem ("It is a whirlwind of bird's wings") is inspired, graceful, and showcases an incredible talent with words. Thank you...it made me smile. :) Keep writing!
oh thank you! yeah that would be my old blog.. how did you make the connection? yeah i wrote that poem about a friend.
