Interrupts our chatter
I pounce to nab the light
Ideas are like that.

‘Nabbing’ thoughts is important. I love having digital sticky notes that sync. It helps those thoughts from fleeting for good.

Very pretty! I love the pictures (in your header and in the post). For some reason I was very drawn to both of them after reading your poem.

The form reminds me of “The Red Wheelbarrow,” I love the mix of colloquial and poetic tone.

This is often such a hard thing to do, to “nab” them before they flutter away. Great job capturing this idea in your words. And as for your picture…I want to go there!

Moments are so fleeting, we must “nab” them when we can. Nice poem!

“I pounce to nab the light” – I do that so often with my photography but it’s the same with thoughts too. Thank you.

You have captured this so well. The quickness of noticing something and wanting to capture it. Ideas are like that. Your photograph illuminates your words.

That’s exactly the way ideas are, and I need to be better at grabbing a hold to let it flourish.
