Thank you CJ. I'm trying to get into the habit to taking a camera with me more often that isn't a cell phone.

Happens to me all the time. I take a photo with my cell phone and have a devil of a time trying to email it to myself so I can use it online. That happened to me just this morning.

Thanks Carole. Whether I write a poem or story, I let what I begin take over.

That's a good point Frederick, letting it take over. I have been trying several different types of arm waving, torso twisting, leg lifting movement each morning. thanks.

Thanks Joan. The poem began as something different, but then the poem had its way with me.
