Blank, virgin pages
Pondering how to begin
Novel ideas, pause.
Life's cycle through words
Absorbing concentration
Pen poised on paper
Inspiration sought
Freeing the mind to create
Nature's stimulant

I've had a guest staying over the weekend, which was lovely but I was poorly, which was crap and I've been struggling with faulty technology and fighting bureaucracy. So that is why I've been pretty quiet in blogland earlier this week.
My fancy Smartphone is in for repair, my ADSL filter has been replaced, Hoorah!
BUT the bureauocrats are winning on the battles front so far! Poo!

Hope you've all had satisfying weeks.
I haven't forgotten to award the Talli fest prizes. Will announce those on Friday.
Oh and don't forget to check out my BLOGFEST
For those of you reading this on Thursday.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
Thank you to all my new followers and my existing followers
Hi Madeleine .. good luck at getting everything sorted - I too have been having hassles & it takes a leap of faith to pull my head up and get on with life .. sometimes - I'd love to be an ostrich til the Spring! Keep happy and wishing you well - Hilary

Oh, I hope you're feeling better now. Keep fighting the fight - you never know, you may win :-)

Pondering can be so frustrating too when faced with that blank paper or screen. Nice use of the prompt!

A large blank piece of paper can be so daunting ... and if it remains blank -- the daunting looms!! Hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI've found that the best way to begin is...to begin! :)
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite Pondering
ie, writers block? or daydreaming for me...
ReplyDeleteHaiku is fun to write. I remember one I wrote when the Detroit Lions (my team!) went 0-16 a few years back regarding their quarterback....
ReplyDeleteA moonball is thrown
We're on the road to nowhere
Where is my clipboard.
