New Poem:

when you fall asleep

in my arms,

your face

is better than

a monument.

it is serene

and full of

architecture

the texture is sandpaper

and impish

wrinkles

(barely discernable)

Saturn is in

retrograde

(behind your eyes)

& other wonders

exist

Lifeboat

I need a lifeboat

to carry me to shore.

I thought you wanted me

but it seems you're off sailing for more.

Promises you gave me

and a fur coat for the cold.

Your wife you made me

but traded me for pieces of gold.

Hearts may be broken

and left behind for dead.

Yours I will recapture

and pierce til the sea turns red.

My ghost will haunt you

the woman you knew so well

will see your blood on the water

then take you down the depths to hell.

Crumbs of Correction

Desert skirt sweeping

humbleness

from the corners

of my mouth

as if

someone

somewhere

were offering a correction.

Enlightened by etiquette,

let's not speak of

flowers

(that metaphor is overused)

let's instead

look at

atoms,

one-celled organisms

and mold

as our metaphors

for love and growth.

But if you hold me

close enough

I am certain

I can hear

the rhythm of the universe,

keeping time

within your chest.

Poem for Kellen

"Too true"

quoth Alice

as she

explained

and

assimilated

Freudian

slips

with

the

Mad

Hatter.

After they had hung all the

silken garments

replete with charcoal Sigmunds

they sighed

and sipped daydreams

steeped in sentimentality.

Grad school, anyone?

Well, well, well, it's been awhile....

Wrote a lot of songs, but the whole song a day thing didn't quite take. Am quite proud that Seahorse vs. Lobster played a concert and we are looking to record a couple of EPs in the next month or so.

So, I started graduate school! It's an MFA in Arts Leadership program at Seattle University. The cohort is amazing--some of the most intelligent and talented people I have ever met. I'm almost done with my first class and am very excited to start taking Fundamentals of the Non-Profit Sector and Persuasive Communication in the fall.

I have a boyfriend, and a cat, and I go to the dog park on a regular basis, and I live in a barn and I go to graduate school...

Who is this new Katie Woodzick? I like her!

Drown with Me

Minnesota, land of 1,000,
2,000 lakes
You better take me to them all
To them all
To them all

There are ponds, lagoons, lakes and rivers
One thing's for sure, water takes me
Breaks me down, down, down
Are you gonna drown with me?
Are you gonna drown?
Are you gonna drown with me?
Are you gonna drown?

The Mississippi's pretty long
Then again, so's the Nile
You're gonna make me smile
Smile
Smile

There are ponds, lagoons, lakes and rivers
One thing's for sure, water takes me
Breaks me down, down, down
Are you gonna drown with me?
Are you gonna drown?
Are you gonna drown with me?
Are you gonna drown?

Yellow, Red, Black, Baltic
Beyond the sea
Will you be waiting for me?
For me
For me

There are ponds, lagoons, lakes and rivers
One thing's for sure, water takes me
Breaks me down, down, down
Are you gonna drown with me?
Are you gonna drown?
Are you gonna drown with me?
Are you gonna drown?
Are you gonna drown with me?
Are you gonna drown?

Gold Stars and Scrabble Tiles

I don’t know why

I couldn’t say it to your face

I got really nervous

Remembering our embrace

We love each other, right?

Well if that’s the case…

Chorus:

I’ll tell you I love with you

With gold stars and scrabble tiles

If you reach across the ocean

You’ll find our love will stretch for miles

Because if I told you in person

And you wrinkled your brow

I might have put a bag over my head

Like my good friend Charlie Brown

So I sent my package in the mail

And now I’m counting down

Chorus

Luckily, you reciprocated

You said “I love you” too

I have to admit

I would’ve quit

If you didn’t feel the same way I do

Chorus

Perception is 9/10ths

It isn’t illegal to kill a praying mantis.

Cashews aren’t sold in the shell because the skin causes blisters.

Geese fly in a v because of aerodynamics.

Chorus:

Perception is 9/10ths of the law

Perfection is our flaw

I’m waiting by the side of the road

If you pick me up, I’ll carry your load.

Pigeons can fly up to 80 miles per hour.

The largest diamond ever found weighed 1.3 pounds.

Storks can be quite heartless parents.

Chorus

Roses have prickles, not thorns.

Ketchup has its roots in 17^th century China.

Cows aren’t the smartest creatures around.

Chorus.

Sick of Serendipity

Chorus

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I’m sick of these serendipities

Holly Golightly shot her lover down

Then went out for a night on the town

A night on the town

Hey, Mickey Rooney

Is it too soon to see

Judy Garland never loved you

Why don’t you go play an old Chinese man

(Oh wait, you did…)

Chorus

Audrey Hepburn

What can I say?

You hit pretty big

Never faded away

Is Julie Andrews still pissed

About missing out on Eliza?

(Probably not, because SHE got the Oscar…)

Chorus

So let’s all go on a Roman Holiday

Maybe Cary Grant got carried away

With Dyon Cannon and LSD

I have to say that sounds good to me…

Sounds pretty good to a girl like me…
