Chemistry



Image by Karsten Hohmeier
Every now and then
a poem stays with me
or a line

gets stuck
in the groove of the vinyl
of my mind,

like you do,
and I let it play.

I follow
a coil that speaks this verse

I love when we can stay in that grove.. Like having that perfect flow... as always you manage to say a lot with few words.

Sherry Blue Sky said...

Yes, this resonates....those phrases - or connections - that inspire.

I both love and hate ear worms--sometimes though, when we fall into that groove with someone else--it is just magic--

in the groove of the vinyl

How incredibly romantic ... unless one wishes to get unstuck! But I had the romantic sense first, because the narrator lets it play.

" stuck in the groove of the vinyl of my mind" Wow! So evocative and layered: the chemistry of a lovely musing.

gets stuck
in the groove of the vinyl

When one gets stuck in a tough situation 'in the groove' it is good to just move on and not be dragged back wasting precious time. Things will fall into place somehow! Nice write Jennifer!
