Words I read today, brought this back to me If it is a reprint, my apologies, I suppose I have built up a library of sorts, and I read something and get a flick in my head that makes me go back to something I wrote and posted somewhere, or never did, post at all. I think this came from a facing the challenge set of words I wrote. Dave Dark black grey blue and blood On some Summer's Day Lapping washing on some other shore Gently sounding on my open jaw Nothing moved in a languid pool As I flicked bugs away To the gentle warmth Of a bugs delay Strong waters thrash to take edges from a rock Rock never needed there It was always just a rock Conditioned from history To face currents of change Dark and black In holes of sea In fabrics torn Asunder To see In quietness Sun gently admits you to its life or death To be hung immediately or gently It's warmth drifts over you Touching where you realise is becoming hot As your flies beckon you to tangle them in thread To entice unknown beings You felt you knew To a Gallery Underwater That spinning in fashion You drew Webs To a quietness Drifting in nature Drifting in thought In a still water Running deep |

I am as usual out of synch with virtually everyone on Piptalk on hours of writing. My hour of writing this is 29.10. My brain often feels out like a "saucer shaped thing " for a dog (or any animal of your choice)" to find as I try to adjust staying up very late to meet your earlies! I just have to thank Piptalk for just allowing me to get away with so much. I've said, a lot times that Piptalk allows me to write and to write within restrictions I dont like, but accept for the privilege of writing here because there is nothing in the UK like it, and I have even tried to get Virgin involved to create it the UK, and give people who can write quality a chance to develop at their own speed, in their writing. I am a Brit, and words are so controlled here in the UK, which does not suggest that you attack like the Tabloids who have the lawyers and backing, but more the Government backing of any poetry producing organisation, that reduces their people to view living more than the quality to not take the Government money.
