I find it astonishing how much I can write if I get myself properly organised and just get on with it.

Then I thought:” Well, translate the poem for your English speaking readers”. And then I thought:” You have to add at least a mention of the prompt!”

So there we are: I am not fully translating Sophie’s prompt but I make a mention which gives you the chance to take part if you want to. Find “English #frapalymo here.
