Haiku – Blacksnakes
I had to comb through a lot of old FB posts to find this one! I probably could have rewritten it in that time…
Blacksnakes are oilslicks
Inky trails that slip uphill
And silently fade
Also, here is something random, but writer-related, which never fails to amuse me. Some writing tips can be gleaned from it. All I can say is, I’m glad Mark Twain isn’t around to review my book. Or maybe I wish he was. How could I get mad at someone this hilarious?

Is your blacksnake related to the “Black Adder”, who I don’t think ever silently faded…(Hehehe.. Ivor being silly)
Oh… and I thoroughly enjoyed the loooooong read/article, of Mark Twain’s

Pfft, Black Adder. I’ve only seen a couple of episodes but it was pretty loopy as I recall.
Yeah, it was long, wasn’t it? But damned if it wasn’t QUALITY. I kept going, “I don’t have time to read this…” and then kept reading it anyway.
