I am a fistful, a knot set tight
..I am an electric shock, a twitch
....I swim through an intricate rivulet

I am a docile tree, a ready snap
..I am a tight bud, a petite variety
....I arrange briar in a spent garden

I am a tangled wing, a split feather
..I am a velvet night, a smothered sun
....I seek freedom in wild sirocco winds

Lily,
it's really tightly wound and then I read it and it all just springs out.
Nice going.
Norm.

these past few days have been TOXIC! I`m glad it`s the weekend now and I can sleep them off, cover them under the duvet and let the sandman carry them away to the land of nod and dispose of them!!!!!

that is if my house guest learns to SHUT UP BEFORE 3AM!!!

three more days.....three more days.....three more days...... *rocking backwards and forwards*
