A great write right there you have! That sponge can dry and be soaked again with all the things that will make it or break it, but, as much as it can absorb things that are not healthy, it can also absorb good and beautiful things. Nicely penned!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea...

I won't, okay!

I like this for many reasons: the internal rhyme, the alliteration and the simile. It sounds like your heart/sponge is soaked, full of goodness and creativity to share. :)

Every poem you write always moves me for one reason or another and this my goodness was definitely no exception...... I've just got home from a busy school shift and I'm not sure why but today I feel completely numb, like I'm not here and this, this touched something within me which I don't even know what it is but I'm a blubbering wreck and Michael my goodness did I need to read this right now truly, honestly, I am grateful why I'm not sure....love it and love you sir, dear Michael, dear friend. OK I'll stop
Take care.

I'm so glad this is nominated Michael. It's steeped in heartfelt and unique metaphors and the whole piece is sad and moving. Fantastic ... I wish you a wet sponge :-) x
