Writers Quote Wednesday Writing Challenge – “Romance”
Ah, romance! I have such a writing romance influence affair on going with one of the most memorable female writers of all time, the sarcastic, witty, Dorothy Parker! She was a poet, short story writer and critic. From 1919 through 1929, she was one of the charter members of the infamous Algonquin Round Table. They (writers, actors, media people, those who were available) met daily for lunch at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City and they sat at a round table, hence the name of the group. Oh the quotable energy that filled the room… (I’d have loved to have been a fly on the wall on any given day)
I present to you a meme I created with many of her quotes along with a humble tribute in haiku to one of the female authors in history, I would change places with in a heart-beat (if that were possible).
Oh, her words could wound
cleverly she’d craft her barbs
none were ever safe
she could hold her own
nothing sharper than her wit
both feared and revered
stories wise and deep
poetry quoted often
she was born to write
