Balancing Act

Balancing Act

A change in

the seasons approaches.

A balance of:

daylight and darkness

alpha and omega

loss and renewal

Some go to seed

while others still bloom.

Thanks to JLynn Sheridan for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-Try to Remember. [Note: If you only know Jerry Orbach as Lennie Bricoe on Law and Order, click on the link to hear him sing Try to Remember from the Broadway musical The Fantasticks.] I took this photograph in September 2013 in the memorial garden I have in remembrance of my sister, Vicki. The milkweed has gone to seed, but the sedum, which blooms later, is full of flowers.

What thoughts or memories does the month of September bring to mind for you?

Thanksgiving

 

Singing Lessons

 

There is a hint

 of winter

in the air.

Still, I hear

the birds singing.

They remain

out of sight,

but their voices

are clear.

They aren't

hanging out in

the usual places.

There is nothing

to gain by staying

out in the open.

Instead, they explore

the vast array

of spots

that provide cover.

I think

I will follow

their lead. 

 

Thanks to JLynn Sheridan for this week's Wordsmith Studio Prompt. This prompt involves making other words out of the word Thanksgiving and then using them in your writing. The words I made are in bold.
