‘Surprise’ – it was no surprise that this word, used frequently in our language, brought much variation with the direction of the poems this week.

‘Naked’ – what does it say to you? Where does it take you? Naked; a term that could apply to things that are no longer disguised or covered.

‘Candle’ – the role it has played in our history and our evolution. So many rituals that involve them and gifts brought through them. What stands out for you?

‘Scam’ – a word that arrived and unfortunately nowadays, is something that has meaning for many of us in some way or other.

It was interesting to hear more about the moth. Similar to the beauty of a butterfly, however with difference. It appears that moths tend to be stockier and have furry bodies, whereas butterflies are smooth and lean.
