exasperatingly

hoping he isn't

This is surely not the work of a curse !
Your muse is BUSY !

I liked this. Feels that way sometimes, doesn't it? My compliments, Faterider.

It's only a curse when it:

becomes insomnia
interrupts how one gets paid
puts off housework
puts off laundry
puts off dinner, lunch or breakfast
is apparently incurable

and when you know you have a place to put your words, and you are accepted by all....

LOL

kaile, you know that I love this one. . . I love the way that you made the words "drip" on the page like they do from our minds and our pens. . .

excellent. . .

kaile,

It's always frustrating when you get a good line in your head and have no time or pen to write it down!!  Seems to get lost into forever then.  I hope you find more time real soon!

Kai, This is wonderful!!! Nice concrete piece. I really like concrete poems and have done quite a few myself.  Was wondering if you would consider tying the word sagging like below to add to the impact of your piece and making it a more powerful concret poem?  I only hope this software will let me show what I mean...
