great poem Nigel ?

Closing my eyes
for one second
it only takes a minute
to remember why
I need to open them.

Very well expressed Don! You have filled in the blanx for Do.Ro.Thy here. This was one of those short pieces I originally posted on Instagram, then I thought I would try the style here for something presented a bit differently.

Should I brake...stop, 'fore continuing?
Is there something that I may have missed?
If I don't pause but just keep on driving
I might miss something I'd not have wished

Is this what you were trying to say Ruth, or have I gone off on my own interpretive tangent?.....
