Five Easy Pieces

Five pieces in which you make it look easy. This is the kind of thing I wish I could write more of. Usually I get stuck halfway between the universe and groundhog day. Thanks for moving the goalposts!

Thanks for the kind words Stuart! This was a prompt I gave myself based on someone's post of four beautiful words and their definitions.

All of these other comments are so intelligent (indeed, I hate following Asuka in any comments). So, I'll sum it up in one word: wow! There, don't you think Shakespeare comment "Brevity is the soul of wit" was mean for me, not Polonius? Thanks, Ray!

Thanks Michael!

A glimmering constellation of a poem. Every note rings true. Brilliant, Ray!

Thanks so much nora!

“like an untelevised act of kindness” - yes, the best

Thanks Elizabeth!

Suddenly I feel like I wandered into a dream wearing socks and now I don’t know where I left them...

Every section felt like slipping through a different weather system and somehow recognizing myself mid-fall.

That snowflake-with-the-whole-universe bit made my brain yell excuse me and then immediately forgive it.

And seeing my name tucked in there felt like a quiet tap on the shoulder from the poem-world saying hey, you’re part of this too~ Aww Ray... Why are you so sweet..! I'm calling you 'Ray Sweetman' from now onwards~!

Ha! Thanks Asuka! Glad you enjoyed

thanks, Charlotte!
