Staring

Subconsciously searching, something secures my gaze, spectacular it seems, significant somehow. Studying the scene, I simply can't shift away, steadily observing. 4-21-2021 Pleiades S Poetry Contest Sponsor: Kim Merryman

Power packed moment. You've shed more light on staring; demands it places on our attention span.

Congratulations on your fine win, Juliet. Your Pleiades flows smoothly. It reminds me of the staring contests we (7) siblings used to have at home! I learned to outstare even a stuffed dummy :) Regards // paul

Ah, the obsession of being caught up in the overpowering "subconscious" rapture, Juliet! Perfectly described by the letter "S." The rhythm of your write lis like the slow leak of air from a balloon - caught up in the sound! Best wishes for the contest. I see this on the winners list. All the best!

Thanks, Line. There were so many "s" choices that it took a long time to settle on one.

I've always had a staring problem. I got called "stare hard, retard" in school. Seems that's how I got boyfriends though. This could be about anything or anywhere your imagination takes you. Thanks for the hugs. I'm hugging back.
