This one resonates with me a whole lot. 💜 Determined to figure out how. At least I now believe it might one day be possible - that is some kind of progress. And the Stone Roses song perfectly caps it off - such a banger, and so emotionally spot-on. Lots of feels here. Sending good thoughts my friend (for this and the last one).
This is marvellously done - the conceptual echo between darkness, comets, tails, and dream as events trailing through from the past is superb. I can see how much it stays with you in the weight of these figures.
Seeing as Nick Cave and I have both agreed you can share our birthday celebration this year (due to your ill timed illness), I feel it's apt to share a card that arrived in the post today. 50's screen siren pic with caption 'It must be so exhausting...being so fabulous.' Have a fabulous day Fotini.
This seems so quiet and innocent yet it screams of a pain. So well written, humble yet powerful. I read this as a relationship that's changed and how one party is pulling the strings and running the show to their own detriment. Wonderful piece!
Me too. Me too. Love the song choice. Love the way you put this all together.
Thank you, Cynthia!!! 🖤
Sure thing! Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Welcoming them all (the good thoughts, I mean) with gratitude :) Thank you, Dick!!!
You're so welcome - thanks for articulating these feelings in poetry. A problem shared, and all that. Here's to the future possibility of self-love! 💛
Here's to the future possibility of self-love and to the distant friends who can sense the undercurrent turmoils 💛
big yes to that - sending warmth 💛💛💛
Meteor, shooting star appears in night sky too bright for daydreams.
The image disappears after brief exposure to light as a mirror reflection …a signal sign.
It took me years to decipher the signal... Thank you, Richard!
beautiful, with sharp edges
It nearly missed the bone, Jonathan. Thank you for reading and restacking 🙏
I feel like I’ve eavesdropped a private conversation, then the speaker catches my eye and I look away, caught.
The speaker is so caught up in the music that can't see you, Jonathan, no worries :)
Now I’ve listened to the SR! Man that took me back :) Thanks
..parallel
..it's physically hard to move on,
even,
to turn the page
and-how I'm now,
to show mine?
now it all pales
leaves are about to fall
I guess
about to fall
and I'll be
one of them,
at least,
dancing in the air,
briefly,
before hitting the ground,
I am a leaf,
to your Fall,
I am a leaf
"And I'm falling under your spell"

'Dreams come with songs on their tails,
comets whose trails fade in the night'
Unfurling, reflective September... as a he.
Lovely layered fresh writing, Fotini. In what seems like a rotating , mirrored subject.
Thank you so much, Síodhna 🙏
Beautiful. I feel like I need to carry this one with me for a while.
Take it by the hand gently, don't let it drag you...
Caught in the nostalgia of your words and the song… some place I left in a trail behind me 💛
Oh, these old trails...
This is marvellously done - the conceptual echo between darkness, comets, tails, and dream as events trailing through from the past is superb. I can see how much it stays with you in the weight of these figures.
Thank you so much, Edgar 🙏 I mean it with all my heart :)
You’re entirely welcome

The most fabulous card I have ever gotten, Treasa :) Thank you very much 🖤
This speaks to my soul words I can’t say out loud
Shhh!

Thank you so much, Pilgrim 🙏
I really like the feeling this poem aroused in me. And I also feel like there is more to it that I’m yet to grasp. A deep one Fotini. :)
Thank you so much, Michael! 🖤
This one burns and bruises beautifully Fotini it’s quite fabulous.
Thank you so much, Darienne! 🙏
