Only just come across this lovely poem, Ann. I find it really easy to associate with, as it reminds me that I wrote a poem once that I could try using to help myself drift off to sleep instead of worrying over things. This is much simpler though, yet very originally put. Good one! Hope you are well.

Thanks everyone - I wrote the poem a year ago. I seem to write songs now and the poems have disappeared.

Funnily enough, the title came from messing around with those magnetic words you can put on your fridge etc. I chose some random words and "sleep" "queen" and "memory" were among them. The poem just itself formed after that. Re capital letters Cynthia - good idea!

I hope all of you are well! xx

I was thinking of you only on Saturday. It's weird how thoughts flash up, mine probably tickled into being by the Cornish 'recognition'. I've missed you.

This poem is simple, and simply haunting, in its philosophical thought and embracing universality. 'queen memory' is a very original image. Or, at least, I've never met it before. You are really gifted.

Would you consider no 'capitals' whatsoever, since they aren't consistent?

Lovely Anne,

(maybe `that` instead of `this` in line eight?)

The picture `goes` with it.
