For those of you longing for book talk,
here is my participation,
in book apocalypse at http://bonjourcass.com/.
I hope and pray I don’t have to read,
all of them:-)
It was enjoyable,
Cass is fun and smart,
and always has bitchin’ ideas.
If you have never read her blog,
take the opportunity,
peruse.
Earnest: showing depth and sincerity of feeling: earnest words; an earnest entreaty.
The other night,
I was called earnest,
My guard went up,
the old butch armour,
stoicism.
Did it mean,
Boring?
Staid?
Lackluster?
Someone, you can count on.
A bird dog,
a boy scout.
a best friend type.
Then I looked it up.
Pretty good word,
I like it,
a 19 Th century word,
a gallant and old-fashioned word,
a butch word?
Maybe.
My question about butch,
in a previous post,
sparked interest and creativity,
on the part of a few bloggers and readers,

Keep it coming.
My friend the busy writer,
says Butch should be brave,
well,
I’m butch,
I don’t think I’m brave,
but,
I am earnest and,
I am a work in progress,
so perhaps,
soon,
I will grow up to be,
BRAVE.
Later girls,
