A Good Day Off

I chose these poems because they were about time, the times, and how some people deal with time and how time affects them. As I was working through all the work I’d piled into this it was only when I listed every poem with a statement on its content that I could see what didn’t fit; that last rout went from 50 poems down to 30 then I had to work to find the last ten – which were among the stack without titles and still in second draft. So I now have my 40 poems, mostly edited and formatted. Today is my day off but I really do need to clean up my desk because tomorrow a man will want to get at the radiatior behind it so I can’t be poeting all day.

Well it’s 9.30pm and I haven’t cleared the desk or the stuff that’s fallen off it or down the back of it or got the craft cupboard door closed yet, but there’s still time. I’ve been watching some TV drama, three in a row but something was running through my head about my character thinking 100 yrs into the future and calculating scenarios of how her family would grow and what life would be like for them, so, I might just take a little wander over there for a while.


I also made a few more book covers using different text and the other butterfly pics so now I have a lot to choose from but I think I know which one I’ll go for, and it’s not the one below – similar but better.
