I love looping poetry so decided to give it another go for the Imaginary Garden. I am sorry if there is dark in my verse. I just saw the sun wink at me for the first time in a week. My house feels damp n' all this rain is affecting my mood.
...thin skin like ripples
ripples revealing
delicate network of green
green wisdom tucked below silence sense
sense doesn't listen its edges curl
curls reveals more envy
envy rings like a pebble in the pond
pond invites me to skip
skip rocks into bruises of skin- now thin...
...muse likes quiet
quiet spearmint whispers, gathered moss haven
haven with cheery polka dots on fresh linens
linens stained with harsh voices
voices leave frozen rings which paint chills
chill(ed) with edges- slip like silverware
silverware stabs and cuts
cuts which scar skin's red dots pool
pool runs into ever blue
blue which gives wings to cinnamon birds
birds nest dreams
dreams hide in pick up sticks
sticks inspire art's muse...
...Castle stormed by ogre
ogre no longer kind
kind(ness) moved out spirits moved in
in(side) she hides her voice
voice of blue sky n' clouds
clouds circle her n' whisper: come play
play where?
where sepia photos make red crown bloom
bloom of red dangles like threads
threads tangle during day-no ease
ease doesn't live in the castle...

Sun? What sun?
there was a hint of sadness... well done on the loop poetry you did it well....
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Glad you saw the sun.....smiles.
Of the set of three I enjoyed the third the most. Castles appeal to me and I could sense there was to be no ease there.

Our weather has been wet and sunless for so long. I feel like I am in Oregon again.
Many a dreich day in my corner of the world, in fact as I look out my window I see a touch of gloom in the sky, greyness prevails.

Dark, sad, and yet something happy too. Lots of emotions threaded together.... beautifully woven into a tapestry that is unforgettable.
Susan-Thank you! Yes, I wanted the red thread theory to remind us how we are all connected or tangled! :D
Wendy-Yes, thank you! @>---------
Lynne-I see the same sky! I am tired of all the stormy weather inside and outside my life.
L.Diane-Yes, I have felt like I was living in Alaska this past week. The silverware was there for the drama that arrived at the dinner table-words can cut.
Hank-Thank you! Yes, a winking sun is better than none ;D
Hi Jim-Castles do bring their own magic-don't they! Thank you...I am sorry it was hard to read~
Hi Mary-Thank you! Loopy n' droopy this past week :D
Brian-We live in the same climate-yes, it has been a dance of gloom. Thank you~
Shelly-Thank you! Did you hear chocolate is going up?! Time to hoard, but hugs are free ;D
MPax-Thank you! I have forgotten you! I will email you~ :D
Wanda-Thank you! Yes, it does affect our mood. I hope you are having a sunny day~ :D
Robert-Same to you! Thank you~
Thank you! @>------------xo
I enjoyed the poetry. An interesting poetic device. I don't recall ever seeing this or hearing the term "looping" as applied to poetry.

The drabness of winter affects me too, they call it SAD. The gray does that. Love your looping poetry.
My grandmother had a container of buttons too, she brought them out each time we visited. They kept us busy for hours. I now collect buttons and have several glass jars and tins full of them. I display them in my living room on the table my grandmother left me.
