Oh the days of “Be kind, rewind.” There will come a day when kids don’t know what that means. What a nice trip down memory lane with your favorite pizza and a video store. (I don’t think we even have any of the latter in my neck of the woods any more.) Peace, Linda

Very few things beat a good pizza, sadly they are not all good! In France, it is a popular favorite when there is soccer on TV.

I can still see those black plastic cases that game systems and VCRs used to come in. If you wanted to return it in good condition then you bought a rewinder 🙂

This just proves you don’t have to spend a bunch of money to have a good time. And sometimes those good times are made sweeter with sacrifice. That cowboy sized pizza most def fit the bill for food and good times. Some of the best times I’ve had were times like these with friends – all pitching in.

When I was a kid on Fridays Mom would make Gino’s pizza and we’d get to pick the toppings. It was such a treat, I never knew until much later it was because they didn’t have much money. We always picked ground up hamburger and caramelized onion.

Nothing wrong with being poor. Been there myself a few times, just makes life more interesting as you find humble treats along the way. So what is a cowboy pizza? Is it that blend of toppings? Curious.
How did your cleave work out?
You inspired me a bit and I blended a cleave into my poem the other day, just one stanza of it – for fun.

The cowboy pizza was pretty much a dressed up reference to a garbage or everything-but-the-sink kinda thing. I’m letting the cleave sit a couple more days..my Muse usually takes a bit to construct something. I would be interested in seeing yours. Is it in the linky?

Its funny, after mentioning it the other week, I have ran into several. One was a Native American song poem that was written back in 1993 – which is odd, considering that the form is claimed to have been created in 2006.

What an interesting puzzle. I love the form, reminds me of those pictures you had to “see through” to spot the hidden picture 🙂 I found the first and the blended poem, but where is the second separate poem?
