listen with eyes closed

sleep at midnight hour

Hi Kim! Can totally relate to those insistent words that encroach when you're meant to be doing something else... but our muses know no such boundaries, so we must welcome their gifts!! Lovely Senryu! Regards, John.

Thanks so much, Eric, and I know what ya mean! I start watching tv and constantly pause because a new idea spring forth. Better than watching tv anyway!

Very nice Kim. And when the words get too loud, you have to get up and write them down! I like it! - Dean

I LIKES it!!! When I was a kid, this was a very favorite activity of mine, feigning sleep in the back of the station wagon while my parents discussed important issues and I was the only kid hearing it!!
