marriage to a famous poet
a delicious and edible concept
two writers
adept at words
oozing viscous charm
cultivating a retinue of adoring fans
egos get in the way of things
words become weapons missiles
hurled at each other
and when it's over
air your dirty laundry
you can always write a book
I shall research Mandy Sayer..didn't work out that well for Ted and Sylvia either did it..acerbic words as ever Rallentanda..
ReplyDeletePS I mean that in the very best way!
ReplyDeleteThere are similarities with the Ted and Sylvia relationship. This is a cover to cover read.Just been released....get your library to order it in. I have always been labelled an acerbic wit....I take it as a compliment. Although someone I am very fond of said recently that my work was sharp ...I think he would have preferred my work to be mellifluous ooze in fur lined words...I can write it...but I refuse unless someone offers me lots of money to do it....I can be bought:)
ReplyDeletePS
I highly recommend you do not shack up with a poet or a writer:)
Thanks for the recommendation Rallentanda..I doubt anyone aside form Alice (and my rattie) could tolerate my craziness in a live-in situation! ;)
DeleteWe artistic types often have troubled personalities. Put two of us together and sparks can fly, but when things go wrong, the destruction is often intense.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it, my Nicola was a writer too.
ReplyDeleteMust track it down and read it. Sounds as if I should forbid any of my wives from writing poetry...
ReplyDeleteMust be difficult to keep control of a harem:)
ReplyDeleteWhips and Tim Tams.
DeleteMmmmm...hideous kinky!
