Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


I see a neon moon above
I searched for years, I found no love.
I'm sure that love will never be

A product of plasticity
Mothers of Invention, Plastic People

Gimme the girl that's beautiful
Without a trace of makeup on
Barefoot in the kitchen

Singin' her favorite song
Joe Nichols, "Gimme That Girl"

A SWEET disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness :
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction :
An erring lace which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher :
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbons to flow confusedly :
A winning wave (deserving note)
In the tempestuous petticoat :
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility :
Do more bewitch me than when art

Is too precise in every part.
Robert Herrick, Delight in Disorder, 1891
