i like the loving thing, especially the time to just unwind and do nothing

[Kelly Scheppers]

[wordman]

[Mrudula Rani]

Are you addressing a mermaid?

[SleeplessVolcano]

does it look like it?

[Mrudula Rani]

Yes, I thought you were being naughty...offering mermaid a foot rub!

[SleeplessVolcano]

lol...not quite. Just offering a shoulder to lean on to someone not feeling too well....sometimes, a foot rub actually just means, a foot rub...:)

[Mrudula Rani]

A poet never means what he says... have to read between the lines to get the Picture!

[SleeplessVolcano]

Well, us mortal poets need pictures, possibly, to add more to our sometimes mediocre words...so maybe we need to explain ourselves sometimes....but only great poets like Shakespeare, or Rumi or Frost....yes, they need not explain their words :)

[Mrudula Rani]

Every time has its own great poets. In my books you are one of the best on WC.

[SleeplessVolcano]

Oh, I would love to just say “thank you” per I see my little scribblings way too mediocre to be considered “great”. I think I need another ten years of practice ;)

Oh, the image! I feel like sleeping and have a dream like this right now!

[SleeplessVolcano]

That's what daydreaming is for :)
