Thank you for all your kind congratulations and good wishes - and mine right back to you, too, for those accolades already received and those still yet to come! Seize the day! :))

... And now for something completely different... still picking out the fluff at the bottom of my April poem-a-day challenge bag...


STOP NEW PARAGRAPH


Question mark.

He starts walking on,
moving ahead like
a long, slow dash.

I pause, then dutifully
trot behind: dot dot dot.

Bubbles hang in the air
empty of speech,
waiting to be punctured
by some awkward
grammar of regret.

Love the visualization that you have transplanted in our minds of the written word as a living breathing thing capable of emotions and feelings. Sweet Kate if these are the fluff then maybe it is time for you to do a book called "Fluff and Stuff. Big hugs sweet Kate.

This is playful and witty, it certainly makes me look at punctuation under a different light.
A short and lovely exploration of creativity.
