I wrote a lot of poetry when I was younger. My favorite was one about coffee:
A sea which is murky and dark,
Contain'd in a blue china cup
Doth rise in steam t'ward the stars
Before the bottom's turned up.
Its waters are hot, so to burn the mouth,
But many endure that sharp pain;
For they need to be working by the ninth hour,
Lest the task-master start to complain.
Its waters are bitter, so to make one cringe,
Yet many ignore what they've tasted;
For they need to be studying all the night long
To make up for time that they've wasted.
Our people ignorantly imbibe
Of the waters of the dark sea;
Yea, I , even I, confess I enjoy
A drink from the murky sea.
That sounded so much better when I was 19.

I'm guessing that was in regard to Quis's post. Otherwise...Yeesh! Everyone's a critic!

I like your poem, Rocky. Perhaps you should send it to Starbucks.

OMG!  Yes, that was in regard to Quis's post. I like your poem, but I don't think coffee tastes THAT bad.

I figured, Fanfie!  He Who, Starbucks can have my poem if they are willing to pay me one million dollars for it. Of course, their coffee often does taste that bad!

I had a neighbor once who swore that the best cup of coffee he ever had was one-half brewed coffee and one-half instant coffee.
He was an interesting fellow.

My mom likes to combine brewed coffee with instant coffee.
She's an interesting lady.
Thanks to her, I'm a second-generation Three Stooges fangirl.

It's funny how parents pass things like that on.
I was a fourth-generation Guiding Light fanboy.

I'm also a second-generation Disney Duck fangirl.
My mom actually sent her drawings to Disney when she was little. They sent her a note telling her she showed promise and to keep working at it.
Instead, she became a teacher.

with my mom and grandmother, I was a fan of Star Trek, 70s/80s GH and Dr. Who. They intro'd me to GH, I intro'd them to Who.

Nothing wrong at all.
I just wonder how different my life would have been if my mom had been an animator.

My mom used to boast that she could write better movies than the ones being filmed. I kept challenging her to prove it, but she never did. I, however, studied screenwriting in grad school. Some dreams are better left unpursued.

I have to disagree with you there HWW, Every Dream should be Pursued.
With the understanding that not every dream is a keeper when you catch it...

Yeah, I don't regret pursuing those dreams. I also learned a lot in the process. Still, I can understand why a child cartoonist would grow up to be a teacher, or a would-be screenwriter would remain a housewife. Sometimes dreams lose their luster when they come too close to reality.

Kenz Nuhor believed that every Dream Girl should be pursued, and look where that got him!

And there is the beauty of Legion World! We can discuss just about everything in the universe, but it always comes back to the Legion!

I never thought of it before, but I'll bet genealogy is a really big thing on Talok VIII.

I haven't ever had much interest in genealogy, and I've often wanted to write a real essay about the (over)emphasis on legacy heroes and villains in comics. Maybe there's some connection there...?

I've taken an interest in genealogy off and on over the years. What makes it most interesting is knowing that my ancestors were human beings with both courage and frailty. Some stories even define who you are or re-interpret who you think you are.

I've managed to trace my family lines on my mothers side back to several generations before they left County Cork in Ireland.
On my fathers side I only got back to the first part of the family to come to Canada.
