So I completely understand every dreamy step down these stairs, from the trains to ships to bacon to clocks to finally waking up and having it all fade away to a blaring alarm clock once you plod downstairs to consciousness. Dig it! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515148975353849650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943152373837433678.post-17563176850317783342011-06-27T13:30:02.025-05:002011-06-27T13:30:02.025-05:00Thanks y'all especially for linking, posting a...Thanks y'all especially for linking, posting and coming by to read Steven's excellent article on free verse and to read my effort for the week. When I am having difficulties as I have been lately in finding words, I play with pictures. I downloaded some fractal programs and have been having some fun starting there and then layering them with other things. Can't say if it's pricked my imagination in other ways but it helped me "lose myself" for a while. I think that's what I was after in this piece too. I love travel almost more than anything else. When I don't have one planned, I seem to fantasize about them waking and sometimes even sleeping. Hope you enjoyed the journey.<br /><br />I am enjoying all the posts you've put up, too, this Monday.
