Greetings, dear poets and storytellers. Can you believe that we are only about two months away from the end of 2024? I know we (and by “we” I mean “me) always say that time moves too fast. But seriously, this year went by much faster than its predecessors. There are so many things I wanted to do before the year was over, but… I won’t have time.
October is one of my favorite months—the weather cools, the spooky season arrives, NY Comic Con, pumpkin chili, skull cakes—so many wonders… Also, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, October is sort of the sweet spot between summer and winter (before we burn, after we freeze, October is just right). Bittersweet, isn’t it? Well, I think so. And with that in mind, for today’s optional prompt, I invite you to find inspiration in ‘bittersweet October’.
Add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky, please. One post per participant. 369 words maximum (excluding title), for prose and for poetry. Share old or new pieces of poetry or prose. Write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other poets and storytellers. Read what October brews out them. Let them know what their words brew out of you.
for next week, Rommy will invite us to find inspiration in “The joy of
walking away”.
Thank you for the prompt Magaly - Jae
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jae.
DeleteMy modem died in a thunderstorm. A new one is on the way, and my phone has had data added so I may use it to connect to the internet — but it’s slow and clunky, so I am not always succeeding in leaving comments on others’ work. I’ll come back and double-check after I receive the new modem.
ReplyDeleteYou know, my sweetest Rosemary, that first sentence sounds like the beginning of a story perfectly spooky story...
DeleteI'm glad you still found a way to stay connected.
