/Evaporation


The words
         They
     I mean
I try to say           
The words   
      Are clear
                        Near… dear 
      And then they’re gone
No longer here                         
I fear                                        
Evaporated

      You’re right, Jo… but I hope it’s soon. I’m starting to think it’s a conspiracy…

    Maybe you need a prompt to stimulate your imagination, Tom? For me, sometimes doing something as simple as taking a walk is a great help. You’re used to seeing faces in shrubbery. Maybe if you look up at the clouds or down at the potholes in the street, you’ll find inspiration?

      I’ve followed your advice, LA… which has worked, but I’m also borderline with a conspiracy theory now as well…

        Sounds like you might be rediscovering inspiration.

      We do find a way round, Lady P, don’t we? Eventually. The bit in the middle is a bit daunting. Only slightly, mind…
