Page Break

I took a break from poetry

Let words slumber in silt

Let the cobwebs gather in corners

Let the wind under my kilt ( metaphorically ?)

Sailed stanzas out to sea

Let them drift casually

Let sentences settle

Switched on the kettle

Had a cuppa tea

A slice of banoffee

Colloquially free 

Just beautiful silence & me!

?Thanks for the likes and comments!
Yes, Stephen, I'm not sure about the kilt either, but I do hear its very refreshing!
And, John, if I stick a blond wig on, I reckon I could pull it of...so to speak ?

Damn you, Stephen! I can't get rid in my head of an image of you taking Marilyn Monroe's place over that air vent.

Perhaps I'll try that. Not so sure about the kilt, even a metaphorical one.
