Dobrý den 🙂
I’ve noticed from my blog stats that I have had a repeat visitor from the Czech Republic over the last wee while, so I am giving them a *wave* with my opener today!
As is the case with all my lovely readers, I am glad you are enjoying the fruits of my labours! Feel free to get in touch through the comments here on the blog, my Twitter or Facebook page if you have suggestions for new creative stuff you’d like to see me tackle; or tell me what works (or doesn’t) for you 😉

Today I was more ‘restless’ than usual and played with the generated words twice.
I wrote the first poem at around 10.30am, and the second around 6pm. I am not really ‘feeling’ either of them, but think the second one has maybe got a backstory I could develop?!
River Therapist Annual Ignorance Reserve Fine Movement Past Update
I
She called herself a River Therapist,
Helping people move on from their annual display of ignorance:
Those lists of what they were going to do,
How they planned to push forward
(That were never ‘smart‘
No matter how hard they tried)
She took her clients to her own nature reserve
Where, even when it rained,
There was fine art to enjoy;
Beauty to savour,
And deliberate movement
Through mindfulness and Yoga.
She broke unhelpful ties to the past,
Taught meditation by the water;
Followers sending all negative thoughts downstream
And becoming one with the promise
Of Swan wings and freedom:
An update and overhaul of purpose.
II
We looked out upon the river
In my first year as his therapist.
He had an annual renewal set up
That he could rethink, whenever.
His continued sojourns to my office
Were not born of self-ignorance,
Or any kind of reserve
In his zest for life.
It was a very fine movement:
The relaxing of his shoulders,
The twitch as his brow settled –
But I became his…meditation.
A safe space where is past and future
Could be talked about;
Where each update to his life
Could be poked at in great detail.
I felt like his business partner
(And was sometimes paid as such:
Each Christmas bonus
Appearing, bigger than the last)
But my musings seemed to calm him
And he valued my insight.
Many schemes were tested
While I nodded, or gave pause.
See what I mean?! I think there are definitely a few questions to answer about this guy…
