It took me a few reads, but I get it--the eternal roundabout of effort that never succeeds & fails even at trying.....very clever & thoughtful.
Its good to see it when the words start pulling thier own keep! I like this one a lot!
Wow. This is great. I really enjoyed this. Well done.
I enjoyed how well this flowed no matter which way you put the words!! That was really stunning work. Made me stop and think for every line.
You always capture the OMG emotions of life and writing on this platform. Yep, a roller coaster of OMGs.
I can feel your words
Awesome ✨ I love the word playing 😉❤️
I really like this!! I can relate to these feelings for sure… what a merry-go-round.
