A Paradel (of how I feel this time of year)
Like trees in winter.
Like trees, in winter
With limbs stripped bare.
With limbs stripped, bare.
Like winter trees with bare
stripped limbs,
and cold despair.
And cold, despair!
Reaching out
reaching. Out!
And despair reaching out.
COLD…
For the sun.
For the sun
rays, healing.
Rays! healing
rays.
For the sun- healing rays

Love it.. the simple changing of comma position changing the impression and focus.

Thanks white Dwarf, it does look simple but when you only have a few words to play with it can have you pulling your hair out. Thanks again for reading and commenting. Val

Oh yes.. I've done it myself. Less effectively.
The mechanics are simple, not the deed. Like clubbing a baby seal.

Aww.. what an analogy! (; Val

Having just read three parts of 'Life Just Got Better, I'm not surprised. (; Val

A wonderful play around with punctuation, Val! I feel a bit like this at the moment too - but I'm worried I might have to dig myself out to get to lectures on Monday morning at this rate lol Lots of snow in Durham!

Oh poor you, we've had a snowfall here in Grantham overnight but it's not too bad. Thanks for commenting Magic. I hope you make your lectures. Valx
