I'M Gene Kelly Again

Spending today whilst wiling away each hour each minute each second Pottering about doing nought I am feeling relaxed as can be For today I have spent with delightful intent bathing in words luxuriating in bubbles with poetry cleansing my soul erasing my troubles sploshing and splashing I swim in her poetry puddles just like Singing in the Rain I love playing this game becoming Gene Kelly again… Written on 2nd March 2020 after spending a delightful day writing and reading mine and others poetry on Poetry Soup - indulgent and decadent yet oh so peaceful...
