amazinghow something
so plain pleases
how
drawn I
am to this
quiet
angularity and
its matching shadows
I
imagine myself
pulling up a
chair
and laying
my head on
the
table top
rubbing my hot
cheek
on the
cool white surface
before
I pick
up my pen
and
write only
small smooth words

Ah, lovely, Jean!

That's very beautiful indeed!
Absolutely delightful.
That's fab.
I like this table and its shadows
Hmm, I wonder if having such a desk would make one write small smooth words...
Very lovely.

So very beautiful, picture and words.
I just know I could finish my PhD on that...
Hello Anna. How nice to hear from you again!
The table is in a Buddhist retreat centre and I'm sure it has absorbed the surrounding atmosphere of peaceful silence.
cool and calming and perfectly proportioned..
I wish I was like that.
Jean: thanks for the welcome! I'm still a regular lurker on your blog. Still trying to meditate and write dissertation regularly. Still looking to change my default :-)
Jean - may I reproduce this poem in the Best of New Writing blog I also run? The next edition is out tomorrow (sorry for short notice) and I would love to be able to include it.
Litlove, of course I'd be hugely delighted to feature in your 'best of' list, if it's not too late! I couldn't find an email address on your blog.
