What an interesting take on this prompt. The images come together nicely, and the turn in the poem sharpens the effect of each.
Just like a spool of old film being unwound... :)
Pow! Yes, Ii got behind this and waltzed with it. Beautiful.
I love your abstract approach to poetry, Gemma. You allowed lovely images to fill my mind.
that's really beautiful, I really enjoyed it
Wow, how wonderful to find you and this fascinating poem at Real Toads today. I love the photograph, and the first part of your poem describes it perfectly. I think that may be why the second part unsettled me somewhat, but it's a grand write.

I really like the way you have woven together the words in a variety of ways here. The brevity and clarity speak loudly for me. Wonderful photo as well!
Your painting is fabulous. Do you sell prints? If so, email me with sizes at sharplittlepencil (at) gmail, thanks.
Loved your perspective, kids with noses pressed against windows, waiting for a grownup to take them outside. And all of nature is "disturbed." And nature delights! Nicely done, Gemma! Amy
Early morning at the beach ... fresh breeze, sound of the surf and birds, sand perfectly groomed by the lake or ocean... and then you hear the voices of children and laughter and everything is disrupted in a good way.
