Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! We've reached the point in the northern hemisphere where nights are all too obviously noticeably longer than the day. And with daylight savings time, I'm racing the sunset when I take my dog for her late afternoon/ early evening walk.
But there is something cozy about the shorter days. I love how crisp the night sky is. It feels like something of a little luxury to be able to take it in a little longer. Settling into a slower, more reflective mode is a nice change of pace.
For this week's optional prompt I am asking you to take inspiration from what you like about the dark. As always, I'll accept poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction. Just be sure to keep your pieces to 369 words or fewer, and one entry per person please.
For next week's optional prompt, be prepared to write about three things you hate and tear them down, and/or three things you love and celebrate them.
