throwing caution to
the wind the message in the mirror
was meandering unhappily reminded of how
this freshman fifteen had turned to a dull senior
sixty taking care of lousy business trying to travel
light shed a few pounds improve diet get active
tired spirit hit the sofa where to begin lazy
afternoon thought of clues looked to
do's life hit true away it flew now
your dead what of you
emotion felt much
more to
say

Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am.
To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight.

Interesting nutshell of a life, with your usual eyebrow-lifting ending.
I can really relate to the words "tired spirit hit the sofa" ...!

I really love the free-thought, flowing style in which you write...again, I'm impressed!

Like the style of this one, have to read it carefully and in depth to make it all work... which in turn makes me get more out of it   lol  Great write.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

    First of all I'm astounded at the reply's on what I call foot notes. I'm sure I could have done much better if taken the time. I catch ideas and jot them down and hope. I thank you all.

azure,
Grats. on your 50th. I write mostly free form as you can see, it allows me an edge for the unusual art style.

Irish,
Don't see to much of you, I thank you and I'll have to take a closer look... see what your doing. Thanks Laurie

ethome,
I thank you again my friend.

ThUnDeRkYsS,
thanks for the compliment on style... I really like your signature; speaks my heart.
