clarity
arqios said:
Sometimes we don’t get rid of the questions; we just learn to live alongside them. Clarity is a quiet walk through tangled thoughts and odd turns, pausing to notice the beauty in what isn’t perfectly straight. It’s an invitation to settle in and listen for the gentle truths drumming their beat underneath.

This one left me in a different land. I feel drifting somehow, vaguely aware that I have been here before. Nicely written

Dear, arqios,
This is lovely, it reads like a skipping rope ditty - the last two lines, a gem - a gem in the mud, that is. As I said, Lovely and then some.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Love how each day arrives with its own little cameo — trackpants and Tim-Tams setting the mood, kookaburras as the week’s chorus, hope literally striding in to clear the muck. The quick, breezy rhymes make it feel like flipping through a week’s worth of Polaroids, ending on that perfect contrast of gold and mud. It’s got that wink‑and‑wave tone that makes you want to read it aloud. And we hope reading it aloud is enjoyable! 🕊️🙏🏻

This tale unravels in the ambiance of that careful tiptoeing so as not to waken sleepers, unfolding with exquisite details and a tender sweetness which irresistibly draws the heart into that warm moment. Beautiful. Excellently rendered with perfect imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gumdrops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra
Leave some there for me.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra,
That\'s no monkey, that\'s me.

Did a google search and found \"gum-leaf\" (eucalyptus), which must have some interesting properties, if that was in your tea. A delightful romp through each day. Such a fun poem, definitely had me smiling all the way.
