1) Can‘t think of a literary character I wish I was named after, but Andie McDowell‘s character in the movie Green Card is named Brontë and I think that would be such a cool name!
2)Our cat is #Zeus (came with the name). Our dog is #LordByron. My daughter named him. While a real person, he was also a character in a play my daughters were in at Girl Scout Camp.?

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that‘s best of #dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow‘d to that tender light
Which heaven to #gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless #grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o‘er her face;
Where thoughts serenely #sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

THE FORGETTING My muse could probably calm down now. She's starting to make me jumpy. I've been in a poetic writing frenzy for the past several nights now. #poetry #originalpoetry #amwriting #writersoflitsy

P.S. I knew Lord Byron before my favorite, Keats. By Byron my favorite poem is WHEN WE TWO PARTED.
