• Vacation Ends Early: A Lesson from a Teacup and a Wild Flower

  

  I picked a vacation week but it will do better next time as I take the start of it more seriously, and I have ended this one a day early; tagging posts, “vacation time” missed the point, along with shuffling ‘round and ‘round every thing of mine online…At one point, my phone fully died at […]

• In the Light as it was Falling

  

  … (prose poem, to go along with photos, this one’s in a ’list style’) …Closing the day this way. Morning: I brightened every teacup. Unexpected guests arrived on time: one plumber, two plumbers, three plumbers…all day, fully revitalizing the hot water tank…and the literary salon goes on, and then another tea, dinner cooked and enjoyed […]

• A Picture of a Moment in My Life in Words

  We’d recently had the shower/bath tile wall re-grouted. The workers arrive and knock, I open the door, I am probably half their height as I say hi and welcome them in. They step inside to see a giant, fluffy gray cat running away into a back bedroom at top speed, gaining more speed gradually, tripping […]

  …as if I’d dreamed the tea cup, but found it first and remembered the dream in my own fancy when I received it and picked it up in my hands and looked… The design is just what I would wish…Green I often turn to and admire, green that feels like new sprouts and grass and […]

• These Hands…

  In the post, A Note Found and a Bookmark and A Great First Art Show, I’d found some surprise things inside books, like a handwritten paper, so I decided to make up my own writing prompt with an idea I’d had…Whether you try this imaginary exercise or another, these free writes can be plenty of […]

• A Note Found and a Bookmark and A Great First Art Show

  

  I found this bookmark in a library book I’d taken out and read yesterday, a slim blue copy of literary insight with a little biography of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. From that book, these lines of a poem by Edna I’d not heard of spoke to me most poignantly: The stone the angel rolled […]
