This exercise in responding to a visual prompt resulted in the poem below (a surprise (I do not like)). However, I thought about it and concluded that there must be more to the story.
Sure enough,this morning (6th February, 2019) when I tuned in I heard another tale, which you can read here, if you like.
My thanks to Diane for the prompt.

So do I. I’m not a big fan of formal poetic forms, although I do respect the discipline it takes to use them.

Yep. Too hard to do well, for me. The form sucks up all the creativity. Not enough left for the content.

I enjoy doing spoken word, Jackie. I suspect I’ve learned to think for readings, when I write.
