We turn to compulsions
To fill an immense void
We fill it with fallow soil
And watch as seasons
Shrivel and swell
We stay and we watch
And wait for something
To grow

This one can metaphor to many different places.

Your poems expand so well.

Always enjoyed reading you but, feel like your
pen has much more command now.

Such a joy to have you here with us Kell.

Hello Lily

Now here's a very poigniant message, and one seed that has definately blossomed in that fallow soil. Have to go to work in a mo, and i will plough that hollow furrow again today, but in there somewhere, there's be a spark....and some money to pay the bills.

Loved where this took my mind.

Max

Lily, oh Lily!,

In all my time online I have read many styles and thoughts, enjoyed and even loved some enough to file for my pleasure. You have the ability to make me scream with appreciation with these short punchy writes, No one, save our own dear Julee Swanson, has such a distinct effect on me in the genre,

Happiness is seeing you write again mate,

love and hugs,

Paul.
