On the Breath of Morning
Like waking to
the voice of love
on the breath of morning,
the magic of an embrace
lingers long after parting.
This poem also works as a gogyohka (a five-line short verse form of Japanese poetry) for Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #45 Gogyohka.

Beautiful poem, and background.
Guess I should’ve known there would be an online version of magnetic poetry … given online jigsaws, online everything. I have the actual physical magnetic poetry tiles and sometimes engage them. Tactile contact adds to the experience. I think also standing while manipulating the tiles contributes brain impulses – mine are on a metal cabinet in my dressing area, chest high – poem’s on display till next urge to create.

Thank you, Jazz. There are five different themed tile sets. I’ve been known to pull a tile from one set to fill in for a word that’s not in the set I’m using. 😉 That’s easy enough, since I use GIMP to edit the screenshot for spacing or layering over a photo. And the use of my photos prompts me to see them in ways I might not have, otherwise.
I imagine having the physical set of tiles could act as a subliminal prompt to address thoughts and routines of daily life.
