In dawns half-light,

half-dreams are born.

Half-shadow is where,

half-ideas start to form;

plucked from my mind,

they dance in my soul,

to blossom then flourish,

and make me feel whole.

Some like a sunset,

vibrant colours shout out,

others shy rainbows,

conditions coaxed out.

The hardest of all –

a verse like a thorn,

agitation and pain,

deliverance when drawn.

Thank You Shantelle!

Candid Concourse http://candidconcourse.wordpress.com/

I’ve been honoured this past week to have been nominated for the, ‘Inspiring Blogger Award’ by Shantelle – http://candidconcourse.wordpress.com/

Thank you – it is always fantastic to be nominated by people who have taken time to visit and read my blog. It is also a good way to provide others with the opportunity to link up to blogs they may not yet have visited.

The guidelines are….

link back to who nominated you

  1. nominate seven blogs
  2. let nominees know by leaving a comment on their sites; and
  3. add the award image to your site
  4. Say seven things about yourself

 

The rules are to say 7 things about you, and to nominate 7 other blogs so here goes:

  1. I was born with a cleft palate.
  2. If I could choose to be anybody in the world – I would still choose to be me!
  3. If I could choose one super power, it would have to be world domination – so I could put an end to disease, war, inequality, and famine.
  4. I love tiramisu.
  5. My one luxury item on a desert island would be a wind up radio so I could listen to Classic FM.
  6. I love gardening – though I seem to have more snails than plants at the moment!
  7. My favourite daydream is about becoming ordained and also to get a poem or two published. (I know that’s two – but I do now possess world domination – see number 3!!)

And the nominees are:

Thank you again to Shantelle – Candid Concourse http://candidconcourse.wordpress.com/

It was really difficult to pick only seven, there are so many blogs out there that are fabulous!

I have tried to choose people who have not received an award, or received this particular award before. If I have nominated you and you do not participate in the awards, please accept my apologies.
