One of my favorite narrative poems is "The Walrus and the Carpenter" from Lewis Carroll's book Through the Looking Glass.
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of many things: of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings."
I love it that the Walrus picks his world apart and finds so many things worth thinking about and discussing. I'm a bit eccentric that way, too. I wonder about things like:
If I knew what my cat was thinking, would I still want to live with him?
Did Noah take termites and woodpeckers on the ark?
Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected?
In this blog, "The Walrus and the Carpenter," I wonder about the world of writing. People, places, inspiration, learning . . . you never know what you will find here.
The time has come, my writer friends, to talk of many things.
