Answerbag

Susan Elliott
What's the tallest suspension bridge?
France's Millau bridge.

Is Barack Obama a mason?
No, but "they'd be proud."

Does Billy die in Jurassic Park 3?
No, he just goes missing for awhile.

Questions,
constantly tossed
in my direction, and I answer.

Tirelessly pecking on the keyboard
hoping to scratch out a living
with the written word.
I have become a living Answerbag®,
but I long to succeed otherwise.

Susan Elliott, next Poet Laureate.
Susan Elliott, author of the Ice Clan.
Susan Elliott, owner of that bungalow by the sea.

The one I gave my husband,
where we stand and fish off of our back deck,
where the baby grand piano fills the great room upstairs,
where sheer linen curtains drift caught in the ocean breeze.
