Waiting

Great poem, Josh! I like the way you've described what writing is all about: embarking the readers on an incredible journey and open their minds to countless possibilities. The universe is within their reach.  

Well done, and thanks for participating in my competition!

Happy to... Thanks for hosting the comp  :))

Josh you have a giving pen
so beautiful it is purest of waters...

love Brenda 🌹

Wow, thank you Crim  ... your lovely and poetic complement has got me blushing ... I'm very touched.  :))

Nicely done, Josh... the less is more genre seems to fit you well... Ely

Thank you Ely - you also do a pretty good line in the 'Less-is-More' genre. In fact, reading yours, and Paul Dartford's, has pushed me to experiment more in that direction.   :))

It does the image justice indeed, Josh.

If you thought innocence was lost
think again. The ink in your pen
travels many worlds,

Gorgeous sentiment.  

Again with the format question?

Thank you. Have attempted a short answer to the 'format' question in answering your comment on the "Tears as Portals..." poem.

"If you thought innocence was lost
think again. The ink in your pen"

I like how the ink of this flows, Josh.  

Thank you Johnny, those opening lines definitely seemed to come from some other realm; I took one look at the picture and out they popped. For me the poem goes a bit flat towards the end and then one can't but help realise the difference - but what to do?  :))

If it wasn't for the competition I would have missed this one...

To me the picture also speaks about awakening and you wrote a amazing poem about it and it flows every so beautifully... love this one, Josh

Thank you Duende, glad you like it. I feel I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment. I find pictures instantly spark something deep in me - which is a new experience for me gifted by DUP.
(Family coming tomorrow to visit for a week so I'll be slowing up and be on 'grandpa duty').  :)
