Entres

 

Look,

can you see how

the sky

appears slow

and so

deliberate ..

Like someone

as yet

undecided

which way to go ..

Yet still,

with so many

monsters

just beginning

to emerge

around midnight

Is it really

any wonder

we are

all so very

hungry by midday ..

    Your poem paints a vivid picture of the sky and its slow, deliberate movements. The imagery of monsters emerging at midnight is striking and adds depth to the piece. The connection between these images and the hunger by midday is thought-provoking. It is such a great piece with a unique perspective!

            I wonder if you recall that old classic movie Cathy Come Home .. I do and hereby propose a re-make with you headlining .. Teddy Come Home has such an authentic ring to it don't you think ..
            cheers 🌹

              Flights are so high even with vueling 😢 no matter Italian chocolate is fabulous. Never heard or seen the film Cathy come home but I'm going to see if I can find it on YouTube or wicki. Teddy come home 😭 it's incredible even after all these years I choke myself up when I read poems that remind me of my earlier life. Thank you dear Nev, moreover for understanding and for your compassion. ❤️

              Taking the time difference between us, it's your mid-day. And fortunately it's my morning as I couldn't wait for my mid-day. 😉👍
