That's a potent poem you've made, Nelly. Very healing for someone like me who's marking the anniversary of a death.

I love that Holly McNish poem, so good, and yours too Nelly is fabulous! Thanks for sharing. Off to write a counting poem, or maybe two, or more... 😉

Lovely poem.

I used Counting as the prompt for a writing group I was facilitating on Friday and i was very impressed by the resulting stories and poems

Oooh ace. Did you write one? X

I haven't written one yet, I find it very difficult to write anything meaningful when I'm facilitating a group or class. Though I often do get ideas to work on later, but in this instance that hasn't led to a poem or story (yet!)

Nelly, I almost missed your poem at the end with it's tiny font. 'And I count for us both the sunrise' beautiful and excruciating at the same time.
