Hi Mark! I’ve been having trouble with formatting my poetry to single space. I don’t like double spacing. I was told to hold down the shift key while hitting return, but it still double spaces on me. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you most kindly for your visit today and the warmth your compliments bring!

When I want single spacing of lines, I hit shift and enter simultaneously. I am also somewhat of a neanderthal, and “enter” may be the same as a return key? I use a tablet primarily for writing, so my laptop skills are not great. Also, when transferring from one to other, or even copy and pasting, the spacing always gets screwed up. I have to redo it manually over again. Modern tech is still glitchy, lol.
But, be stubborn! Always write your words! Formatting can always be corrected later. Our words need a life asap.

Chère K.,
I hate winters, specially when, as in most Dutch winters, the sky is grey and it’s raining.
But your poem resonanties with me. Maybe this is what winters should be!
Love it to bits!
Warm regards, Gus -

Winter has been a hard season this year for most of the states in the U.S.. Artic cold, snow and ice have made it more like living in Alaska. Spring couldn’t arrive sooner for the smallest of creatures having to bear single digit temperatures at night. Thank you for your visit, Gus. May the warmth of friendship get us through our winter’s bone!

Dear K,
I enjoyed the dichotomy of this piece greatly. The blanket of snow in the pictures felt like the blanket under which you hunkered 🙂
The photos are lovely. And worked so wonderfully with the calm tones in the poem. Terrific write. H🌷 -

Your detailed eye caught my intent! The photo, of whom I forgot to mention, is by Andrew Wyeth. I thought it complimented my poem beautifully. Thank you for your visit and kindness, Honoria. Good to have your presence here!

What a wonderful thing to read today. The routines of work life do indeed wear us down. Although I tend to daydream much of the day away. I usually have very busy days at work. But, I try to take little breaks to maintain my decent mood the best I can. Your write here is a great testament to how to deal with that.
Awesome result, Elke.-

Thank you so much for your kind comment, dear Styx! You are absolutely right, breaks are equally important as work. And daydreaming is by far more than an escape from reality. It can be a real fountain of creativity and inspiration . When you don’t wreck your brain was tasks and problems, you are mine is open to receive new ideas. This way, serendipity helped the most brilliant ideas to manifest in reality. Go on like this, it’s a great attitude!

I have to apologize for the typing errors.
One sentence should read : when you don’t rack your brain… You are open to receive new ideas

You capture the grind and the small awakenings with quiet grit—the stone never stops, but neither does the heart.
The contrast between monotony and fleeting beauty lands like a soft punch; it lingers in the chest.-

Very nice. It has such a warm glow to it, even though it describes the opposite (initially). Your details are great at creating the atmosphere. Picture perfect scenes.
Good to see you posting here, btw.
