Topsy-Turvy
I wish that I could take the world And turn it upside down. I think of what it would be like To roll it like a marble: blue and green and white.

Unbirthday
I don't want to be Benjamin Button. I like where I birthday now. But I think my peak has been reached. Small coloured candles of my accrued years

Imagination
It is my greatest gift; The ability to take what I know And what I don't know And drift with it. Pictures form and they are all my own.

Rachel Reviews: When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
I downloaded this book a few auroras ago (if you read this, that will make sense), only rediscovering it recently after seeing it on a shop shelf and thinking, "That cover looks familiar."

Whimsical
Take a touch of quirkiness And sprinkle it on an idea; Make it twee but don't overdo it, Just a pinch, to taste. Gently stir with humour

Literal Love
Voice is what I found and a home for it is what you provided, a corner to sit and snatch together ideas that fly and whirl around my head, like bumbling moths.

No More Mrs Sweet Cheeks
Dear Me, It feels weird writing a letter to myself but the time has come. I can no longer be resigned and therefore, it is time to resign. Word play. You're good at this. Punnage is your forté. The application of the literary is something at which you are more than proficient. Comes naturally, you could even say. It is also something to which you devote time.

Jabberwocky
There once was a poet who wrote A nonsense verse people could quote. His vision was clear Words we'd never hear From him, made for us to take note.

Chess
I watch as you contemplate your next attack move, Brows knitted in a V, lips tight with strategy Like they have been puckered with a leather drawstring.

Maze
Trap me in yew and tell me: At the centre is a surprise. This is not a time for strategy. I should run as fast as I can to claim it!

Film Discussion: In the Heart of the Sea (2015). Content Warning.
I don't often watch films anymore. I just can't find the time but when a stretch does present itself, I like to immerse myself in someone else's vision for a while. Last night, it was Ron Howard's turn to present, in the highly esteemed theatre known as my lounge, his cinematic creation In the Heart of the Sea.

Rabbit
This poem comes with a Dharrsheena Warning * Take a rabbit's paw for luck And wear it round your wrist Or slip it in your pocket
