You can only give from a cup
that is overflowing, so
for Pete’s sake don’t spill it!
If you spilled it we’d both be needy
and thirsty and pitiful. So if you have
a cup that is overflowing, hold onto it
with both hands!

Yes, indeed. Hard to share something carelessly spilled along the way.

Nan, there is something wrong with your link on the blenza site. It arrives at your blog but it says Page Not Found. I had to follow another link to get here. Try again using the instructions. The link you would to put onto the blenza site is: https://nanmykel.com/2016/06/13/be-very-careful/
Type it in as is, including the https and backslashes completely as is. Good luck. I’ll check back later to see if you’ve succeeded.

There’s actually a calendar at the top of the dVerse Home page. I find it very helpful 😊

A lesson learned early. “Boat Ands” my grandfather would repeat in his broken English-Polish. If he saw you careless, he’d try and knock it from your grip. Evoked a sweet memory, Nan! Thanks for it!

Yes indeed, “Boat Ands.” Thanks,

It seems someone at dVerse fixed your link – again. I am glad because this is an excellent poem and such good advice! (kanzensakura is hayesspencer, toni spencer)/

Nan, Grace fixed it this time. In order to post a correct link next time, please cut and paste the POEM’s link. (See my instructions above, for this poem’s link.) Each poem becomes its own direct link, and that is what should go in Mr. Linky.

Most (or all of the time) I don’t have a P for paste on my drop-down. Everyone’s trying to help. Surely it won’t be much longer! This is embarrassing!

If you can’t cut and paste, then just click on the link for your most current poem (up top in the big white window), and copy down by hand what it says, and type that into Mr. Linky instead of your generic blog address (which is what I assume you are doing now?)
