      Here be it: a bold blow-by-blow poetic dish served cold, garnished with lashings of diverse words-of-the-day. The year bumbles through the Covid fray -still- with new word seasoning and a sometimes jamais vu reasoning. To survive (in style) the pestilence plight, we bring humor, be it blackish, to the fight. (It is almost never funny to be flippant in the face of heartbreak, for anybody's sake, and it's been a hard year for so many.) Purloining Like a Poet is one way to calm the beast of anxiety, even when the news is atrocious: It's a bird, no, a word; it's a plane, no, a poem; it's Superman, no, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious passion fish and poem frites, wrapped in paperless print, and bound in a panoply of Poemflit, for your enjoyment, and also as a hellish hiccup of presque vu haecceity. Selah. "Immature poets iimitate; mature poets steal" - T. S. Eliot

      Three is a Waltz is the third pamphlet in the Purloin Like a Poet series.    They state that everybody has at least one book in them, and that is where it should probably stay. But let me say: wait, it's not too late for the opsipoeth in you to shine through.   As Giles Lytton Strachey said (and this may be the only thing that he is remembered for, at least on the internet - this, and his splendid russet beard, as painted by some other almost-forgotten artist): "It is probably always disastrous not to be a poet."

      Six of the One is the sixth poemflit in the Purloin Like A Poet series. Words-of-the-day gleaned from online dictionaries attempt to be gainfully employed in the making of memories in the strange times of Covid lockdown. Poems are accompanied by art in the public domain, or by the wordsmith as painter.   "I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything." - Steven Wright.

    I  scribble , dribble and doodle. I sculpt in clay for bronzing; paint anything under the sun; write children’s stories and illustrate them. I read a lot. When I’m not in the studio covered in paint; working on a new picture story; doodling cartoons, or reading; I reluctantly go to the gym. (In the basement, now!) Or travel to far-off places. (BC)  I once lived in a rainforest. Once upon a time I worked as an engineer on secret projects. And also underground in a gold mine. I have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Relatively speaking. I can wiggle my ears. I have two cats.
