Nothing Spinning Everything Spinning Nothing Spinning...
An invisible thread
only I can see
one sharp little tug
like an axe to a tree.
-
The canvas unravels
in the blink of an eye
I’ll hold it together
I won’t say goodbye.
-
But the thread itches
like a tickling tick
sucking my energy
unwinding a bit.
-
I’ll spool it and wind it
weave it and breathe
how does one little fiber
become such a tease?

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

This was incredibly poignant as for me it’s always there whether related to writing or more so .. everything! I love how happy anxiety is in this too! 😆😁 Vile creature! Anyhow, excellent work and poem again. You are very talented. Please share in the Facebook vocal groups if you are in these.. 😊👍
Ok so I'm reading these out of order, I know that. But I love getting the reverse narrative effect. Came from the bridge to the cause of the bridge building... It's such fun! I love the way you designed Anxiety; those eyes cause me anxiety! As ever, I adore your poetry. The rhyming is so good, so skillful and playful simultaneously, and comes across as effortless, which I envy. Also, relatable. I know exactly how this feels; been dealing with it a lot lately, actually.
Those comics were extremely relatable! Your poem was so deep! Fantastic work!
