SPLINTERS FOR MAY 2022

The poem (on site first week in May),“In Another Life,” the poet describes an alternate life. What would you choose for your alternate life? Why?
In contrast to the idea above, do or do you not believe in the possibility of reincarnation? What are your reasons?
Based on the poem “In Margaret’s Heaven” (this site 2nd week) – what foods “make your day,” and why? May honors several. Here are a few to get you thinking.
1. Desserts like Chocolate parfait and custard, Butterscotch brownie, etc.
2. Beverages, both alcohol based and not. For example, lemonade, Coke, whiskey and chardonnay.
3. Dinner entrees: Roast leg of lamb, hamburger
4. Natural foods like walnuts (a favorite of mine) and strawberries
The poem “Surprise Encounter” (last week this site), speaks of estrangement and rejoicing, a story similar to the Prodigal Son proverb. Do you have a similar story to relate? What happened and how did you react?
