Scumbling





collect circles
and poke them at the corners
          [yeast buds
              and bubbles in bread]

random thought
squirms.
a worm
in the sketch of leaves.

chains
(un)coiled
swinging free

letters
in letters
in scraps
in strokes

                    writer's block:
                                        dominoes
                                                        pushed

    An excellent piece indeed! You have taken the prompt and used it in so many different ways in so few words. Wonderfully penned indeed.Thanks so much for your entry

    I can totally picture what's happening here...and in a twisted way, I can relate to the similarities on a page when trying to override writer's block...and simply can't! Great job & good luck in the contest
