Of roving thoughts, and a bit of Keats

calendar pages
unsettled by breeze
a new year
sparrows engaged
in what-if analysis

Endymion
looks out for Cynthia
between clouds
i open my window
a sparrow escapes

It was different, however I liked it, thankyou.
All the best

Thank you Ian for the reply and time.

I love the image of the calender pages unsettled by the breeze and the hint of disquiet within the room. One sparrow escapes through the window, eh? Lucky her/him. Lost me on Endymion. Any clues?

[arunansu]

Thanks for visiting, Mbc. "Endymion" is a poem written by John Keats (panned by critics too). You can find it here: http://www.john-keats.com/

That is brilliant Aru!

You don't know how good You are... do you?

[mbc]

Thanks for the link to Keats. Really enjoyed both his and yours.

I like the "sparrows engaged / in what-if analysis", aru.

Cheers

David

As often happens with your work, aru, I didn't quite connect with any meaning you might have intended, but I liked the sound of it - I particularly like the image in the first 2 lines.

cheers

Thank you Lovely, Mbc, David. Sorry Arian, that this didn't work for you.

That is brilliant Aru!

You don't know how good You are... do you?

I agree. You're extremely good at recording things - everyday occurrences - in haiku-style verse. There's always a dash of colour or scent or something to grab onto, and you're so good at describing movement. And I can compliment you as much as I like because I know you'll just carry on doing what you do.
