How I Found the Answer to Life the Universe and Everything

It wasn't easy I must admit
I've searched far and wide
For quite some time

The butterflies wouldn't talk
The flowers wouldn't talk
Silent as a tomb the stone sure didn't talk

I asked the old man with the purple beard
Sitting, contemplating for a hundred
No, maybe a thousand years
But was answered with a resounding snore

I followed the fly
It was circling round the old man's head
I thought maybe it'd have heard something
Flying, hovering
Round the old man's head

I thought it was about to speak
But a hopping frog swallowed the poor buzzing fly
Oh how cruel life sometimes could be!

The frog stopped
Swallowed and stopped
It swallowed again
And turned a purple-green-blue color

The frog suddenly started hopping
Hopping to the left, and then to the right
And then it hopped up and down, up and down
And then turned left and right

It made a weird sound as it hopped
And if the echoes are right
It went goo-gle-it, goo-gle-it, goo-gle-it
There never was a sound weirder
Than goo-gle-it, goo-gle-it, goo-gle-it

So scratching my head
I went my way
Thinking do I give up
Or do I go on

As I reached the mountain with blinking light
The trees blinked their blink
And I saw a bouncing purple-green-blue ball
It made a weird goo-gle-it, goo-gle-it, goo-gle-it sound
And I remembered the frog
That swallowed the flying fly

I was not sure if I saw a hopping ball
Or was it a bouncing frog?
Never mind, it's all the same to me

I followed the bouncing ball
Which sometimes turned into a hopping frog
I followed it hop up and down
up and down

I followed it hop left to right
right to left and up and down
Until in a clearing we came
And there I saw a giant pond
As round as the old man's head!

The bouncing ball hopped into the giant pond
Its blinking water
Turned into purple-green-blue
Blinking and blinking still
It blinked and blinked
And blinked some more

A burst of light came through the giant pond
It was blinking in silver, gold and green
The light turned and it hopped and it bounced
Until a giant form of blinking silver, gold and green was there

And there I found the answer to life the universe and everything
And there my journey ended and another began
The answer is 42 and I have to find the goo-gle-it
And let it snow
And then defrost with a click of the mouse

How to Become A Thiller Writer

Image
Alright, not exactly a how to but at least some points to remember that might be helpful to those who are trying to make it through to the world of published authors. This is something that I just stumbled upon a few hours ago and decided might be worth writing a recap here in case I finally do get the nerve and the motivation to write something.    This is probably something that all aspiring fiction writers can take note of, not just thriller writers but writers of all genre. Some might be applicable, some may not.    According to Janet Reid , or at least according to the notes she took from a thriller seminar she attended, the following are the characteristics that usually make a good thriller book. It's either a book focused on one of the listed characteristics or all of them. CONCEPT: The speaker cited Jurassic Park as a good example for this. How many other books have we read which took us in right from the start because of some exciting concept? It could be about the

A Review of Joshua Mehigan's Essay - " I Thought You Were a Poet"

Image
I knew I was never going to be a poet the day I chose to be happy.  source: canva.com Joshua Mehigan's essay -  "I thought You Were a Poet"  - just confirmed that. Winner of Poetry Foundation's editor's prize for feature article, he talked about the seemingly psychotic behaviors of popular poets throughout the centuries which seemed to be the main attracting element that poets had for the public that embraced them. The mysterious eccentricities that made them both repulsive and intriguing. How many poets have you actually known by the poems that they wrote? Isn't it more like reading their biographies first or hearing about their many women or drinking habit or in the end how they killed themselves. And then you want to read their poetry to see whether the stories are true.    As if out of those verses you could watch an HD version of their lives. Joshua Mehigan started his essay with an interpretation of Dryden&

A cheesy love poem

I have promised you some verses, which up until now I haven't done. It's not because you don't inspire me, it's more because I only write poetry when there are things I cannot say, and with you I can say and share everything. You have my heart and with it is my poetry.  ↞⇼↠ Te Quiero, Carino I don't know if you'll ever find this page Perhaps not. I'd prefer that. Because these verses They don't come near to expressing The depth of what I feel for you. It's so cliché. It's hard to find words unique Which will only mean you. I promise to write another one Something that could rival the beauty of the sunset But perhaps If I try that It will take a lifetime. Then I'll just read it to you When we're both 90 and weak in the knees Although being weak in the knees That doesn't have anything to do With being 90, it's when you're around. Perhaps we'll get our grandson to read it Because by then we'll be wea
