trixie update

by gl. at 1:22 am

so it's been a while since our last trixie update! fortunately, she just got an email from a spontaneous poet that read "just rearranged some words on your flex car and enjoyed it very much. what a great idea!" i was excited because it's the first email trixie has ever received, which means the (very basic) site & sign i created for her in april (poetrycar.org), is working!

in other trixie news...

one summer day i walked out of a restaurant to find a delightful card on trixie's hood:

[nice car]
i found out a fellow artist is making garden art w/ poetry stones inspired by trixie:

[pat's garden stones]
sven's brother shield surprised us a while back with a new batch of the serifed letters that magnetic poetry discontinued. what an awesome gift! shield scoured the web to find them and i was delighted and amazed.
in an effort to stave off the attrition of serifs, sven made trixie some magnets for valentine's day! it was a noble effort, but they didn't stay on very long. "scarlet" fell off first, then "truth" & "courage" until we finally just removed them from the car so they wouldn't all be lost. but it was a sweet idea!

["love letters" for trixie]

[sven's homemade magnets]

[a thing of wild life]

[enough poetry? i ask for more]

[fearless letters, swift symphony]

[scarlet creature advocate]

[stardust, be creative]

[studios of truthful courage]

the other portland poetry car isn't faring as well, however: someone stole words from bridget's blank canvas! on the other hand, i discovered a westfalia poetry vehicle in nw, right across the street from michaelmas:

[westfalia poetry vehicle]
i had a parking garage pass while i was acting in fidelio. one night the garage attendant told me when he saw trixie the first time he had immediately been reminded of a quote about poetry being a spontaneous burst of energy. i thought that was sweet. unfortunately, he didn't remember the exact quote or the quoter, so if anyone has a better idea, i'd love to hear it.
finally, here are some new trixie poems!
