Trail–Tom Mix–Spoon

Anyone heard of Trail Mix? Sure you have!

Anyone heard of Tom Mix? No? Well, he was a movie cowboy. He pre-dated, and paved the way for, John Wayne. There’s a book called TOM MIX DIED FOR YOUR SINS. When Robert Bloch, author of PSYCHO, was asked by Philip Jose Farmer if he’d read the book, he replied, “No, and I haven’t read JESUS CHRIST AT THE 101 RANCH either.” This not only made Phil laugh, it inspired some writing of his, including some in his world-famous RIVERWORLD series.

Anyone following my blog knows that I have a spoon fetish. Sorry!

Anyone heard of the MX Missile? No! We haven’t! Or we don’t want to! “MX whistles” are OK, though.

Here are the words to this double-double-quadruple super-duper Acrostic:

Tried a contrail’s atmospherics
Rode a comet’s utmost deep
Asteroids are poised to go
Is SPACE full of foistings? NO
Launching MX whistles–fun

Dignity

Alas, my streak of consecutive blog-posting days is over and out. I started on December 3, 2012 and posted at least once a day through April 14, 2013. I missed posting yesterday.

Ironically, the reason I missed yesterday was through engrossment in the above page, which took me till 10:35 PM to finish–and I had to report for work by 11 PM…

Here are the words to the triple acrostic:

Determined, relentless–society
Dismisses some needs–undeniably
Declares & denotes–impropriety
Denudes us at R A N D O M–inviolably

If let, preconditioned conformity
Inculcates Indulgent austerity
If FREE WILL exists, there’s enormity
In acting when viewing with clarity
Ill Fate–as the Void yawns so terribly
Intrinsic with grappling so wearily

Gigantic distresses unbearably
Gain ground with emotions shown tearily
GRACE gives us redemption felt helically
Grants warrant to forge Fate angelically

Before I tackled the acrostic, I talked to Denise about dignity, and asked her if Jesus on the cross saying “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” was an example of dignity. She made a good case for a Yes answer, since it was a question and not a cursing of God.

The illustration and calligraphy that provide the backdrop for the acrostic are dignity-oriented. I have Jesus speaking French as a tip of the hat to my Canadian friend Michel Lamontagne. Hope I got it right, Michel!
