Composition Number 1
This is running. Flying rain in your
face, and an unfamiliar bird singing
to falling leaves, and the rain feels
the arch of your neck. A drink all
along your spine. But this isn’t me.
Composition Number 2
This is a thumb with a nail smooth
as a rumour. It knocks on doors,
that occasionally aren’t answered.
It bleeds. It is long suffering with
arthritic grief. But it isn’t mine.

OMG, Misky! This (these) is (are) fanTAStic!!!
I’m still recovering from “smooth as a rumour”. This Quickly lady’s having a BLAST, eh?

Miz Quickly’s the best. She’s not often around, but when she is, she sets your head alight!

Like Ron, I think these are amazing. I especially love the first one… all of it… every word. But I also love “smooth as a rumour”. Just spot on!!

I don’t know where that phrase came from. Sometimes things just pop out of my head like a sneeze. 😂

Ha ha ha. I once wrote a poem comparing poems to sneezing. It’s good if you catch them in a tissue or handkerchief! Woe betide they just blow off in the wind!

Just reminds me to not get old… or at least keep believing that I’m young (at heart anyway).
