I know this has been a long time coming, but if I fine two seconds in the day to turn round I'm lucky, let alone time to sit down and write something. Anyway, my Lobster is now happy hanging from the window frame behind my computer, and there it shall stay, untill such time I ever read my story of how I came by it anywhere or I come back to the church. My story isn't really a story when I came to write it it came out as a poem, and its not so much a story but the truth, but then I often find truth gives a far better story. But I put this thread here as I'm sure all other Lobsters and their stories would fit better on the story board.

DUSTING COBWEBS

Leave the moment aside a while,
Time will find its own pleasure,
and be where thoughts among
memories play.

Watch,though leave each secret told
to meaning by painted words that
fall from silver strings there to
be found.

Sit among the tale awhile as Night
pensively through naked windows
listens, as dream begs by the open
door.

While old prays, hung upon crystal
fleeting notes, place sweet kisses
on miming lips, as vergin lovers
would.

Then from the rainbow seeds here
you've planted, about your neck
will hang a crimson beaded
question.

But leaving the Golden death of
Green, to backless questions, only
a single smile can the Scorpio
Lobster answer.

For only by the moments side
will pleasure tell of all you saw,
where thoughts among memories
play.


I carn't remember who it was that gave me my Lobster, but who ever you are Thankyou, and I look forward to telling my Lobster about its brothers and sisters.

Yours
ME

'twas Darlene who bestowed us with the magic of the Scorpio Lobsters! (how proper for my lobster to be a scorpio like me...)

nice story bev...

I mean what other group of people on the planet has a collection of Wisconsin fresh water lobters bestowed upon them by a Cheesehead?

I don't have a lobster, I tried to buy one but there was a claws in the contract saying I couldn't. It all got a bit heated, and I didn't want to appear shellfish so I let it go. Anyway, it was so expensive I would have had to prawn some of my personal belongings just to buy it, so I said nothing else, just clammed up I guess. I'm not normally so crabby, although I did look sideways at the price anyway. Someone else tried to mussel in on the deal, that didn't help, it did look a bit fishy although I can't be too pacific about that. But I do have some lobster beads.....I'll post about them sometime.

Sea you soon.
