My daughter recently gave me a coffee mug with a TS eliot quote "I have mesured out my life in coffee spoons", from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. I means a great deal to me. Hmm can you guess I was a lit major?

Poetry/prose subject to mood

I was fascinated with Guy de Maupassant writings Mother Savage ,etc

and my mood from reading Katherine a Porters' The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" comical to bereavement

I need to read more poems and short stories
