interesting how leaving no spacing between words could be just as meaningful as the spaces… love it…

I love your poetry increasingly. I like the playfulness in it. When are you publishing your poetry collection? 😉

Thank you, this one was a kind of stream of consciousness or longing for un-conciousness…not the sure the world is ready for that boo, need to keep practising 😉

Oh thank you Lucile, Mara’s posts are always an inspiration…maybe I will try a little self published book of photos and poems for private consumption first 🙂

What an amazing piece of the art of words.
It’s fascinatinb how well the words work together with the eay you arranged them in this picture and the rhythm of the lines.
I actually felt the restlessness while reading.

Thank you, I really appreciate that, I wrote this one in my head whilst out walking and feeling restless, the challenge was to keep it in my head long enough to type it…and I’m glad you like the visual approach too

I knew walking frees the mind. I do it more and more often too 🙂
I have a mini bag especially for a scrapbook and pencil – i always have that one with me

Perfect, I need to do the same, pencils seem to be more durable than my mobile for example, the battery can often last as long as two hours between charges…

I know that problem – I feel like spending more time charging my mobile than actually using it

That is exactly how I feel when I am trying to sleep. You’re poem perfectly encapsulates that struggle. 🙂
