| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/18/06 at 04:45 PM Fun read! Whimsical to the max...the way I like em sometimes. Thanks for brightening my work day; indoors in airconditioning, but none at home. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 07/19/06 at 12:34 AM Kristina, this is so light-hearted and moves along with such a cadence. Yes, it's fun! Sometimes maybe the poems we don't think about too much as we're writing them are ones that come from a different part of the heart. Thanks for lightening my day!

| Posted by David Hill on 10/23/07 at 11:45 PM This one is great fun. It is freeing to read. I feel the "going up." I like the movin' groovin' language. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/12/09 at 03:53 PM I remember reaing this, but I don't remember why I dodn't comment, because I really liked it.I love the images- Anna doing a strip tease; the description of her clothes, the angel food cake. Fun read. Great work as usual! |
