Dromana beach must be a very great place. You're lucky to live so close to the sea, which inspires you to your poetry! Thanks for your visit and I hope you'll have a great weekend.
that is a lovely capture!
I love the image of the words "wandering away" along with the photos. Delightful!
I think distractions are often at the heart of good health. Lovely, Gemma!
Gemma--
your verses address one thing that I haven't seen the other posts speak to, head on...and that's that most of what we do is distraction--maybe from our mortality?
Thank you for the lovely photos and words to float them on...
Great photos, Gemma. I was distracted. Beautiful, thoughtful words too...
mundane meanderings
PS: Please do come and post at Monday Poetry Train Revisited. You will love to board it
