Dithering has always been my issue.
I set my eye and off I go,
Swerving at the first slight contour,
Tracking the knave, not the rabbit.
Refocusing, I try once more,
Aware, always of the many permutations,
Choices at every step,
The warren weaving
In every direction.
One flash of brightness and I turn again,
Navigating, always, the curiouser route.

Grounding: five senses
I wrote this in answer to the Sensational challenge...but transatlantic timekeeping and life lead to a missed deadline. Never the less, I brought it here anyway, rough edged and open to critique. I based this on the five senses grounding exercise.

Travel Snaps Challenge Winners
Travel changes us — if we let its lessons in. It’s possible to wander the world, even to take pictures, with our eyes as good as closed, never opening to the new self that a new place might make of us. So many of the entries to our Travel Snaps challenge were by creators who really wanted to look at the world, and themselves, anew. They were all inspiring to read — and to see, because photography was an important part of this competition. To us, the ‘quality’ of the photographs wasn’t the point; it was that these images were yours. It was a reminder of how much more that can mean — certainly when it comes to personal essays — than widely available or AI images. We really loved seeing these snaps.

This poem was so well crafted that I, at first, missed the fact of its acrostic nature. Guess you could say I was distracted by the spell it cast on me. Lovely poem.
Relatable as always. This was a joy though...love the playfulness of it! Well done, Hannah!
Were you also watching Once Upon a Time? I just watched it for the first time (the wonderland season, the others I saw years ago) ✨
Hannah this was such a fabulous acrostic poem! I loved your language choices and narrative, it felt like a play on Alice in Wonderland! Loved it so much, I read it a couple times over! I think this is my favourite poem by you! 💜 Well done!!
