Like the title, perhaps some visual play to convey a sense of movement.

This is short and sweet from you Suzanne. I like that sense of movement. :wink:

Thank you. I found this in my files from a few years ago.
Thought i'd share it. I'm not too keen on the roll of roll but appreciate the idea.

I used to enjoy writing the short ones. Thanks for the encouragement.

I didn't understand the concept. Should i be thinking in a certain way for some understanding to dawn on me?

Naw. If you didn't get the concept and you are waiting for understanding to dawn on you, just give it up.
No point. There is nothing there. Thanks. Suzanne

Hi Suzanne, You say you used to enjoy writing the short ones. I've spent a lot of time on them, too. What do you think about it now? I'm trying to build those single images into more complex, multi-celled animals but I'm not sure if there is a reason that everything has to go that way.

Hiya Suzanne, I enjoyed this, it captured something that made me ponder the why of the tear.....David

I assumed this was about a tear moving down the face. With that in mind, I rather liked the way it was expressed.
All that I had I brought,
Little enough I know;
A poor rhyme roughly wrought,
A rose to match thy snow:
All that I had I brought.
(Ernest Dowson 1867 - 1900)
