Now Why Do That

Click Bang Whirr and Maeris Talston-Barnes, two stories that got their start as Blog Titles, that struck enough of a chord in me to become story poems have indeed been set into Tuesday 42, my poetry monthly.

I hadn't done that before, taken a poem that I hadn't originally written out in pencil, almost exclusively away from home and meant to include it in Tuesday 42, granted this has only been a consideration since January, as Tuesday 42 is new, but considering this is the end of May now...that's a development worth mentioning.

Well, not really, but I made mention of it anyway.

8-D.

Hey, I have a quiet life, I have to use what I can use to post the occasionally easy to write blogs, that flow nicely.

And it is a development...as well as showing that I am pretty damn talented that a blog title can spark a story that could one day grow up to be a movie.

Why not? Why can't a story poem be something that can spark a movie? Sure, there'd need to be lots of prose added and perhaps the complete absence of any poetry, but still it would be that a poem sparked a movie.

And me, if not the first, because for all I know, it's already happened, I'll be one of the best at it. Yes, at least three of my story poems will one day be feature films.

Quick, delete that...no, I will not delete it. Nope. I just have to make it happen.

Oh Hells.

8-p.

Next when, where I boldly predict that my screenplay will be optioned before I am 42.
