Spinning

On its axis, dizzy, ‘round and ‘round goes
gaping, globular uproar;
within its mane gums gleam.

An intriguing one, Kim. Gosh I haven't seen you in a while. Are you ok? I thought of you today when I met my nephew Sammy for lunch at Culver's same place I got to see you at. He drove down from Idaho

You make me smile, thinking of Culver’s. Just been busy! Went to the Bahamas for a birthday party for 80 year old.

The world keeps spinning, this movement is mad, sometimes. But without movement, we will slip into stagnation. Beautiful Kimo.

It’s hard to engage the reader sometimes with a short poem. However, you nailed it. Nicely done, Kim

Reminds me of the poem, I Once Saw A Man Pursuing The Horizon, - a wonder of words, your work as always. <3
