Alphabet Homage To Edward Gorey Photo Gallery by Toni Moore at pbase.com

Alphabet Homage To Edward Gorey

I am a lifelong fan of Edward Gorey's Gashlycrum Tinies and this alphabet gallery is in the style (but not the morbid flavor) of his gem.
i.e.
A is for Amy who fell down the stairs
B is for Boris devoured by bears
C is for Clara who wasted away
D is for Desmond run down by a sleigh.....well you get the idea.

FOR ANYONE WONDERING WHY I DIDN'T FINISH THIS GALLERY....Well, I stareted getting comment from people telling me they didn't want it to end...SO..........

B is for Bumbershoot over my head	C is for Colors I can't pick just one	D is for Doorknob that ruins her fun	E is for Ellsworth he gave me a flower
F is for Five minutes left in the hour	G is for Goddess she wears many faces	H is for Harp broken strings can leave spaces	I is for Isabelle hands tell the story
J is for Jellies and jams in their glory	K is for Ketchup with Kellyesque humor	L is for Lies told in scandal and rumour	M is for Marbles don't look here, I've lost mine
N is for Noticing warnings - I hope in time!	O is for OH MY GOD! don't drink the Wazine	P is for Photo on the phront of a magazine	Q is for Questioning water this murkey
R is for Right choice of dressing for turkey	S is for Spider a masterful weaver	T is for Trees some are favored by beaver	U is Unusual place to store crap
V is for Vixen in sexy red wrap	W is for Worms-can I get them by Chrismas?

Hi Toni: I agree with "Strangely" and don't want your wonderful alphabet gallery to come to an end. But hey, I just noticed these are all capital letters...so maybe we can talk you into doing another one in small case? Meanwhile, I too am looking forward to X, Y, & Z. -- Retha

Wonderful gallery -- I too love Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies, though I read them with a slight sense of horror. Yours are a pure delight!

Oh, this explains so much, Toni!!! I too worship at the alter of the insect god and the unstrung harp!!! :) Fab gallery, inspired by the genius of E.G.Deadworry and Dogear Wryde ;)

And you have given me much more, Ms. Moore. Thank you for the Gorey-est of greetings. I, too, am a fan. Just don't get "sucked dry by a leach."

Oh, you can throw a few darker entries in there, can't you? I'll probably get what I ask for when you get to "L"!
