Wallpaper is tricky. I do enjoy its Victorian essence. I like this poem of minor frustrations. It reminds me to start projects without giving up.

I'm happy it had a motivational feel :)

Guilty as hell! good job I’ve no wallpaper in my house any more, I have an overwhelming urge to peel back a few layers, oh wait I’ve found a loose thread on the hem of my new T-shirt, a manufacturing defect no doubt, I’ll bring it back and exchange next week, after I’ve had my fun, brilliant love this one! Cheers David

It's a bit left field for the 6 line contest. I quite like that it could mean anything and also I can really feel the resistance of the wallpaper as I describe it. The actual offending piece is near the picture rail, so I've not touched it - if indeed this is anything to do with wallpaper. The quiet destruction of hems and seams - think that might need to be a poem one day (free to the highest bidder). You'll end up with posters of you up at the mall if you let that punk rebel hem unraveler out to play too often :)
