Polar Knight Goes Green


It's easy being green when you're reading Lament of the Fiddleheads by Kat Mortensen! Please scroll down for a reading of this delightful poem that will take you on a brief but merry jaunt from Christina Rosetti to Stevie Smith, with musings by the Big Bard of Big Bed Land, Polar Knight. Posted with Kat's kind permission.

  2. I must say, it's pretty neat to see the poem in print like that! Thanks, Polar Knight and everyone in Big Bed Land(you know who you are)!

  3. Dear Willow,
    I like the asparagus part too. I found the beaded little frog in a lone gas station on a desolate stretch of Highway 95. They rented videos there too and locals were hanging around chatting about a movie; it was the only gas station I've ever seen that had a donation box hanging in the bathroom, neatly lettered asking for contributions toward bathroom supplies...

    Dear Poetikat,
    I was going to take this photo in my studio, but it gravitated outside to its natural habitat where the sun was shining. Thanks for the poem!

  4. Wonderful reading, & wonderful pic!

    @Poetikat: maybe you could link to the post about your poem--it's ok to do a little self-promotion!

  7. Dear Poetikat,
    looks great!

    Dear Betsy,
    yes - I'm very much enjoying the blog-community of writers - this is new to me and I think it's pretty cool.

    Dear Jeffscape,
    safe travels! Be sure not to step on any hibernating polar bears - they can be trouble.
