How true! As poets, we tend to shun use of "idioms" or adages, as they are considered "cliché," something we try to avoid in our writing. But I also think they are like a common language, a 'slang' we can all understand. It was rather fun for a change, using them to compose this. Thanks for your comment!Ginny Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298060016652737538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-88754036542130776502012-04-04T09:24:34.666-04:002012-04-04T09:24:34.666-04:00Genius!
