FINDING MORSE



Two dimensional, through to fourth
I slipped.
Reality...or awakened dreaming?
Spiralling faster than time
through fictional territories discovered
within the printed word.
His name animated
by merging with the deductive brain
of Inspector Morse.

Well, I found him beneath
Oxford's dreaming spires.
One would have considered me
too old to ride on fairy tales.
Yet here I was: an obscure note
of Stravinsky that possessed his mind.
And Dexter thought he'd imagined it all...
my symphony hummed through John Thaw's lips
and the glint in his eye that betrayed a second Soul.



I will be away until next weekend...so hope you all have a truly great week!
Will "see" you soon. xxx

    1. Oh thank you, Sweetie!
      I do so love the Inspector Morse stories. They have always held a huge fascination for me...and the fact that they are set in and around "The Dreaming Spires" of Oxford is an added magical bonus!

      We were much luckier with the weather this time...sunny and warm, without being too hot. Just perfect!

      Have a wonderful weekend.
