The word Iโ€™m going to use has gotten a bad rap over the years, but Iโ€™m going to use it anyway: that was a โ€œcuteโ€ little poem. No disrespect intendedโ€”itโ€™s just sadly sweet the way the poem circles back upon itself to the theme of โ€œbusyness.โ€ I donโ€™t know from what about poetry either, but this I can say with confidence and certainty: youโ€™re a poet. We love to hear from you, whenever youโ€™ve got the time to share with us, whether itโ€™s a few words or a few thousand.

Thank you Rafael & I am happy with cute, I understand why it can get a bad rap, it can come across as patronising but only in certain contexts & not this one. So thank you again!

I enjoy your posts, whether poems, musings, or travel stories. There is no expectation of you keeping a schedule for my reading pleasure, only pleasure to read what you have to share, when you are able to share it. And your photos are also always welcome. Thanks for sharing what you do!

Not a problem - I enjoy the photos when they are there, and itโ€™s fine when they arenโ€™t. I just appreciate what you have time (and energy!) to offerโ€ฆ

Life seems to always pull us in lots of directions...I'm glad that inspiration is there waiting for us when we return.
