cryptic messages

cryptic messages
I find in my inbox
turn those around

heightened sensations
do me in, night sounds
pale in comparison

slowly my toes curl,
thoughts unfurl, I give
myself to imagination

"all this from mere words, turning a phrase here and there"

  1. Imagination is a powerful gift. We should use it as you have as often as possible. It colors our lives.

  2. Our imagination is there to alert and create us! Very much a two-faced persona! Beautiful poem!

  6. Odd, I tried to post here and I got sent to my blog. Odd. What I said was...

    beautiful. Makes me pause and wonder how many cryptic messages I take at face value. simply because I don't like to play "the cryptic message game"

    I wrote a long blabbering Sunday Scribble. (Never done this before.)

    Now I want to write a poem.

  7. I like your poem, a handful of words in an email with the power to excite.

  8. I have found the best thing for toes that curl and the calf-cramps that must ensue is to forthwith rise to one's feet. This forces the muscles and ligaments to stretch.

    It helps to shout, "God Save the Queen!" as a distraction from the pain.

  9. I like the waking-and-stretching feel of this poem, Gautami.
