Happy Easter

Just popped in for a look at the old Cafe

The world is full of eggs and rabbits. Fertility abounds. Spring is sprung in the North. Bring on the original celebration, a pagan festival of f*****g. (Sorry, my Christian friends, but we were here first.)

Here is my favourite Easter poem. Eostra by Kiersty Boon (from her book which you should own, The Poet Busker).

And in more good news, Brad (of Maekitso's Cafe fame) arrives today for a visit. It will be the first time we've met in person and we shall be experimenting with the video camera, so look out for some video poetry performance madness soon.

Happy Easter,

Christian or Pagan, there has always been lots and lots of sex going on-- It's just that some are ashamed to admit it. (They probably never pass gas, either)

Eostre, Ostara, Eostra...whatever. Way back when, when god was a woman, there was more sex for everyone. I think the Venus of Willendorf was a fertility goddess small enough to carry in the pocket. She still looks pretty good for a 24,000 year old fat chick. lol

sok-ray-dew-prawn-tamp and maybe it was a pagan day when you ate eggs...? a kind of celebration of the obvious, little chicks born before your eyes. and, yes, the invention of 'pastel'...
