Five Good Things From Online

[browngirl]

From karenhealey, The When We Wake Blog Tour for her amazing new novel, When We Wake.

From ladysprite in her professional capacity,When Should I Bring My Pet To The Vet?.

From dandelion_diva,Neon Luminance, also here.

Via Fantasy of Color,Authors of Color.

Last but not least, because it's National Poetry Month, and because the birds that woke me up to a dim blue dawn reminded me:

1: Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
2: The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
3: And bathed every veyne in swich licour
4: Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
5: Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
6: Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
7: Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
8: Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,
9: And smale foweles maken melodye,
10: That slepen al the nyght with open ye
11: (so priketh hem nature in hir corages);
12: Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
13: And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
14: To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
15: And specially from every shires ende
16: Of engelond to caunterbury they wende,
17: The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
18: That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

The opening lines to the Prologue of the Canterbury Tales. If I get a chance I'll sing them into a voicepost (to the tune of "For the Longest Time" by Billy Joel, as various filkers have taught me).

ladysprite is a wise and caring vet, so I had to signal-boost her advice! You are most welcome!

Wow, that cracked me up on the When Should I Bring My Pet to the Vet. "When I pet my cat, he makes a rumbling sound." :D :D :D :D And also, helpful info in it!

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that made me giggle a lot. :D

The age joke was funny; singing classic poetry to modern tunes is fun. :D

*nod* I remember finding out songs with the same 'meter' when I was a kid in church -- "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" can be sung to each other's tunes, frex. But it's more fun with secular songs in the mix. ;)
