I love when the magic happens; from daydreaming to sweet poetic fruition! :)) Dear Paul, your creative pen never fails to express a bounty of imagery in such short forms. A beautiful testament to your powerful artistry that inspires and delights my imagination. Loved "the ripe figment" and the choice of the word "ruptures"! Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes and hugs for you, my wonderful friend.. ~Susan

Not sure why this comes to mind (maybe it's the word 'ruptures'), but this conjures up an image for me of those stubborn dandelions that somehow grow through the cracks of cement. Beauty finds a way I suppose (and imagination peeks through the cracks). I dig your easygoing style.

Daydreaming is the ripe figment of imagination and inspiration and if it ruptures, well it could lead to a more psychedelic daydream of absolute fascination! Both are good as long as they don't wander to Corona Virus daydreams or nightmares. Well penned my friend Paul Good luck, and best wishes for the contest. Warm regads and hugs, Jenny

Paul, All in the name, which is apt. Is it the Cinqku poem form that makes your figment come alive? And, if necessity is the mother of invention, where does imagination fit in? -Richard

I'm still musing on your posers, Richard :) I must start using my imagination :) Thank you for stopping by. Regards // paul

Thank you, Eileen. I was in two minds whether to use "ruptures" or "raptures"...both would have delivered, though the versions would differ. Hugs // paul

Sounds painful, not really because I actually get it and it is a point well made as framed in this wee poetry form. Your lines deliver, Paul. Good luck in the contest and all else - stay well! CayCay

Well written Paul , I sometimes get the right figment when I wake at a strange hour lol. Of course I then have to get up and jot it down or I won't be able to relax. Hope you're well Tom
