a descent into poetry insanity

These are poems I'm writing for various month long challenges.
I'm not sure how sane I'll be at the end . . .

In response to "once upon a midnight"

What a sweet sadness. I used to dream I knew "the most important thing in the world" in a sense, as well...I had unlocked the secret to floating/levitating, and it disappeared in a wisp when I awoke. I hadn't remembered this in a while until I read your poem.

In response to "once upon a midnight"

Beautiful. I had a dream like this once, too, involving reading the meaning of life on the tiny page of a tiny book....

In response to "in her skin"

Amazing how you took the skin and beauty and ended it all up in a sad note. ❤️

In response to "in her skin"

I love your poetic examination of self and skin, and the touching comparison to your grandmother, beautiful despite the loss of cognition.

In response to "in her skin"

... I carry life / on my skin, touches and links / to the past and friends and / memories ...

I will think of these words next time I look in a mirror.
