As to Gelett Burgess, I just unshelved my 1907 Bobbs-Merrill 1st edition of "The Heart Line (a drama of San Franciso}" to see what it's going for --ebay has it up for $9.77. Another insult to Burgess, and the fine illustrations of Lester Ralph. I'm keeping it!Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-39743312838405900532017-03-20T21:38:01.442-03:002017-03-20T21:38:01.442-03:00Thanks for reading, Janie!

I wrote a four line "song" with rhyming lyrics when I was about ten years old. That was my one and only inspiration, music-wise :) You're welcome to post more of your poems here on Poetry Monday; anyone can, but especially those who don't have a blog of their own. I'd like to read them if you feel like sharing them.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-88279545002603593982017-03-20T21:30:04.874-03:002017-03-20T21:30:04.874-03:00I'm so glad you got a laugh, Diane!

I used to try and make my song lyrics rhyme, but sort of left that aside as I found I could only really write songs all at once, and no matter how hard I tried to make the lyrics work by themselves, I just wasn't very good at putting music to them afterward. That's how I ended up with a bunch of "poetry" in my journals...<br /> <br /> -Doug in Oaklanddinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-90063116264024387102017-03-20T17:27:55.756-03:002017-03-20T17:27:55.756-03:00Oh, my goodness!
