Why am I hooked to Tyler Knott's Poems...

I don't know why his poems fascinate me one moment and the next moment I am like, really Tyler... that's not healthy. I mean the flow of words, the way he uses them; ' walk slowly across the earth of you ' and ' slivers of you '... see what I mean. Who thinks like that, who comes up with sentences like that... I love that aspect of his poetry. The way he effortlessly weaves words into sentences that you've never thought could be formed like the way Tyler forms them. I love the language in them, the way these phrases make me stop and want to go over them again. But when I get to the meaning behind them, I am a little incredulous by the way he feels... he gets lost in his feelings, and it goes beyond my understanding. I don't know how you can feel to such extremes, I mean, I know it is possible.. but it's not healthy for your sanity. Obviously he's a poet and that's what they do, go to the extremes in their poems... but in real life, logic

Annecy, France...

Annecy in France, is located about forty five minutes from Geneva and every last Saturday of the month, a huge flea market is held in the old town. So we decided to drop in on the last Saturday of October 2013, and weren't we in for a pleasant surprise! There were so many trinkets, antiques, paintings, and an assortment of things being sold for reasonably good prices... it was fun walking around, revelling in the sights and the sounds of a beautiful French town. Saw this pretty house on the way to the old town in Annecy... Entering the old town... Ah, these bells... I wanted to buy one, but they are so heavy. Cute stuff... Wooden clogs... Antique perforated spoons... A painting... Paintings, sofas and other stuff... This winged being caught my eye... A picture of Jesus... That girl in the painting looks real... I really liked these pictures... Especially this one of the bridge... This cute little fellow was observing us...
