"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Complete Sentence?

I'm not sure it's a complete sentence...but I'm calling it done for now. Or at least until I get more feedback from Jane. I wonder if a poet...or a writer takes almost a week to write one sentence.

I wanted my sentence to shout JOY....and I think it does.

  1. I declare it a sentence. It is not a fragment or a run-on. And it looks wonderfully like a whimsical vehicle.

    In answer to your wondering, I offer the following from a novel by Brian Morton entitled Starting Out in the Evening:

    This is what an artist is,
    she thought.
    This is the temperament you need
    to spend a whole day
    tinkering with a sentence,
    making sure both the meaning
    and the music are right;
    to spend three
    or seven
    or ten years
    working on a book.
