Come in shoe, for a nice, warm cuppa by the fire and you can wash your hair here too, if you want :) I had to look up diaphanous, and I'm glad. It sounds like you needed to psych yourself up for a bit longer, before going out on your own. K xx

Hi Shirley,

This is one I can really relate too. The whole poem works really well and has a great flow. Great stuff.

David xx :--)

P.S. do you suppose we might be twins sepersted at birth? (another I.P. perhaps?)

Ha,ha, two sugars please, and I do you have biscuits? :~}

Of course! Chocolate digestives, custard creams, ginger nuts and bourbons! ;) xx

David, That would explain a whole lot! :~D,
I am now trying to gain a mental image of you to use in my next poem, hmmm...I will have to use poetic license,

That would be a challenging I.P though wouldn't it!!

'I became less distinct, diaphanous, dissolved.'

- I love the alliteration in this line, Shirley! Another beautiful and moving poem ;)

Wonderful. I liked the idea towards the end of temporarily melting. A good feeling of delirium.

Thank you Magic, why use one word when three will do!!

Pleased you like it,:~}

Hi rjnewlyn, Delirium? hmm yes I can see that now, I think I was trying to get an unconnectedness, or of being in another place from the world around you. Glad you noticed the melting, thanks,:~}

Yes, I had a distant feeling too, when you looked through, and then /at/ the window, just seemed to lead your mind astray, I just wonder being 'out' do you mean unconscious? K xx

David, looks like we've been rumbled,lol,:~o

lol :)
