From the artwork Undone by K A SMITH

For Pick-A-Title, Vol. 41 Poetry Contest ............

I can't gather everything together too much of me, of everything is smudged and it's late and I'm tired I fear I'll come undone spiral with me exist in this by my side tell me any version of me is worth your time as I sweep into and out of view nothing but loose strands held and grounded in moments as gales become breezes that kiss my neck

Congrats my friend, you should have told me, you know I never look at potd.. So glad you won the honor. You are definitely the The Ekphrasis Queen of poetry. Well done.

' everything is smudged, ' so tell me any version of me ' that is ' worth your time. ' A beautiful thought that is beyond breathtaking. Moments create a masterpiece, in many magical ways. Congratulations Dilly, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Thank you Brandy, it is indeed a honour. The weather is always strangely poetic despite it's reputation as a dull subject.

Congratulations on your POTD, Dilly Dally! Most of the lines resonated with my life. I too, get the feeling a swirling around, often looking for something to ground me for a few moments. I enjoyed reading your poem today. Enjoy your special day of recognition. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Thank you Tania - I liked the idea of the sweeping winds and derailing emotions - has me wondering now if days like that ever coincide with still weather? Thanks for your kind words x

Falling apart at the seams Dilly, yet you express the process so poetically, the artwork catches the ambience quite beautifully, (Gales become breezes that kiss my neck) what a great line to finish on, congratulations on a wonderful POTD, cheers David

Di11y Da11y
Date: 2/3/2024 4:54:00 AM

Haha you'd think I'd have reinforced those seams with a bit of gaffer tape by now - but that isn't as poetic I suppose. It was inspired for a contest, but I drew on memory. It's nice to be quietly calmed in moments of turmoil. Thank you for your kind words :)
