Words to Ponder from the Fridge

Like many refrigerators, ours is used as a communication tool.  The handy magnetic board shares favorite philosophies, comic strips apparently composed while eavesdropping on our life together, and photos of adorable kids who are dear to us.

A few years ago, I added another communication vehicle to our fridge:  magnetic poetry.  I bought one of those kits with random words on little magnets that can be arranged in endless phrases and sentences.  I always invite guests to express their creativity by moving words around.  And I am always amused, if not intrigued, by what they have to say.

So -- anonymously, because I have no idea who authored any of these -- here are the Wise Words Of Life that are currently screaming from my refrigerator today:

  • look hard think deep speak joy
  • I missed you   from the felines
  • support and embrace time
  • kill prisoner with fever
  • melt then blush
  • cool dark night sky
  • surround peace will come
  • more fresh crap
  • HMC [a college who provided a small pack of poetry to its alumni] always streams warm air over young
  • smile candy
  • every woman will devour worry
  • use open window for smoke
  • wear steel velvet
  • rhythm god could dazzle dance
  • perhaps ask cat for job
  • with one die cut eye
  • slow decay has magic
  • corduroy must be hot
  • eat steam bug
  • cake in champagne
  • like voice glass
  • linger I hardly know her
  • soft belly growl
  • laugh after listening
  • caramel universe
  • fat angels/baby/boy/men/fish need delicious poison and liquid coffee
  • translucent bore
  • born from wild lie
  • ferocious porcelain ghost child
  • I eat and drink pie and a drink
And lastly, an encouragment to all who visit our fridge:
  • give poetry
