    no sleep
    falling on eyelids
    no dreams
    tonight

    A discernible smile,
    A lost expression,
    Can injure!
    Leaping and hopping like a frog now, but still have a long way to go before I get crowned as "King Frog"!

    My mind
    is as cluttered
    as my bookshelf.
    O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
    wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.


    Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor

    Ah, Barbara clearly delighted,
    endlessly flattered!
    Great honour!


    As for alphabetical arrangement: I'm trying to arrange them chronologically plus thematically plus school versus private. There you go!

    Leave me alone;
    let me enjoy
    my solitude.

    Solitude, though occasionally necessary,
    leaves us craving company.

    Had to look up the word 'opine'. So I learned a new word today. Thanks.

    Company is a necessity,
    be it only virtual.

    Three word poetry?
    What's next?
