Funnily enough I was saying to someone on a pm last week that I'd intended to get a notebook but didn't get round to it. My work diary is full of scribbled haiku and other verse including a soon to be posted piece on Chinese food. Have a good morning!

awww....what a lovely momento! can't wait to see the next week...you are so creative, producing a lot of work, its inspiring....

on a different note, i am wondering this morning when is it officially winter? does anyone know? it feels wintry....

Winter conversation
by Joyce Wakefield

I listen to you explain the difference
between a right brain thought and a left.
I am distracted by the smell
of cold on your face.
I lick it away like a child
with an ice cream cone
sticky fingers and sweet tongue.

Aware that I have been here before
I pause in your words.
I have slept in this flesh,
dreamed these winter bones.

Waking in the darkness between us
I hear frost sweeping the porch,
edging toward the morning.
I reach for your hand.

What, you whisper, voice hoarse with dream.
My lips, swollen with you, cold,
are silent.

Fantastic start to the week freckle! One of the things prevalent in much of the verse posted on this thread is its extreme intimacy. Stuff that is just not there in popular music or common in literature
