Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

cryptic messages
cryptic messages I find in my inbox turn those around
heightened sensations do me in, night sounds pale in comparison
slowly my toes curl, thoughts unfurl, I give myself to imagination
"all this from mere words, turning a phrase here and there"
I have found the best thing for toes that curl and the calf-cramps that must ensue is to forthwith rise to one's feet. This forces the muscles and ligaments to stretch.
It helps to shout, "God Save the Queen!" as a distraction from the pain.

Imagination is a powerful gift. We should use it as you have as often as possible. It colors our lives.
Our imagination is there to alert and create us! Very much a two-faced persona! Beautiful poem!
I love the way you use internal rhymes like curl amd furl. Beautiful poem.
Immagination is our most important tool. You certainly have been blessed with more than your fair share!!
long night
I wake to the embrace
of the blanket
Odd, I tried to post here and I got sent to my blog. Odd. What I said was...
beautiful. Makes me pause and wonder how many cryptic messages I take at face value. simply because I don't like to play "the cryptic message game"
I wrote a long blabbering Sunday Scribble. (Never done this before.)
Now I want to write a poem.
I like your poem, a handful of words in an email with the power to excite.
good one dear:)..

Not bad...........
I like the waking-and-stretching feel of this poem, Gautami.
i think very few of us are gifted with a beautiful imagination :)
