Two Midges

The grey of evening
two midges do a love dance
I sigh happily

Thanks Craig, for leaving a mark here, I was wondering if perhaps the title was a bit of a turn off? so glad you liked it, I love this form, the snapshots, like pressing pause for a second if you know what I mean? Thanks again Craig, much love b x

not a turn off

Don't see the title as a turn off Bek, but as you mentioned it, I guess the other title which kinda springs to mind is, Loves dance. At the end of the day though it's the cake not the icing that's important, not that you would get many kids to agree, specially if it's pink or chocolate. It is a great form, I like the way you can read them and then sit within the mood or feeling that is evoked and remain there in quiet contemplation. Totally the opposite of so much free form which can get overcooked and oversauced. Cheers Bek Craigx

Craig, you’re right,

Craig, you're right, it's great how just a few lines can take you to a different space or mood. Still thinking about this title though, will let it bubble away for a while, and see what pops up. A good balance of icing and cake is best :) Thanks again Craig, more love b x
