Uncorked



One haiku and one fibonacci for Traveling Thursday prompt: Uncorked



backed up her old brain
with black font and dead tree cells
before the drive failed


she
did
progress
gigabytes
from old gray graphite
but misses nibbling erasers




One White Petal, watercolor

Such clever word play.
Wish I'd written it.

Both are great (especially 'before the drive failed')......and nibbling erasers, YUCK. I was a pencil chewer myself.

Both are wonderful.. my favorite line though is, " ... but misses nibbling erasers". Perfect.

You captured a writer's real fear so neatly (the migration from old to new technology and its pitfalls).

I like both a great deal, but loved the last line "but misses nibbling erasers".

PS--thanks for your thoughts about my "The Gift"...it's prompted some questions that I'd love to ask you sometime. Not soon :-) but sometime. Would you mind?

There was atime I thought I would never be able to create at a keyboad..for much the same reason. But now a pencil seems foriegn..or is it that it is more intimidating..for it is my skrall forming my thoughts...and on paper. which is permanent..instead of air or ether..which is not.

Great. Really superb!
