WHISPER WONDER
11  November 2012

It was a flutter-moment,
as flower-fleeting
as sunlight on a young leaf
frolicking in Summer’s breath,
but barefoot-imprinted
on the memory
like wandering
deep into the dank forest
of a favourite painting
in a long-gone childhood
better and worse
than it was.

I'd love to 'wander' into that painting and never return! ...

as always, a most fine 'penning' !

Loved your painting of words as always.

Thank you, Bruce.  Smiles - we’d miss you.

Thank you, Jimmy.  Having seen your photos in Pip, I think you could take your camera pretty much anywhere and create magnificent photos of anything at all!

Thank you, Victoria, for your lovely words.
