 Dancing a Circle  Twilight is walking the cemetery with me on my heels as I try to stave off the rest my friends have taken.  Behind the well mannered trees where no one can see I dance, earphones playing songs I don’t admit and laugh.  I …
Mountains of Leaves Under the leaves Fired with red, breaking with yellow Dew makes the grass still green And as the trees lose more and more they Don’t all shatter underfoot, but slide Careful don’t fall. He’ll go out soon, collecting the sodden And the crisp, the dastardy sweet gum balls …
Well I’m going to give something a try. Tomorrow I’m going to put together my first Halloween blog/movie  and see if I can get going on having at least two Halloween themed entries a week. I’m also trying #Octpowrimo , which considering my poetry writing, once such a huge (in both …
Bean wrote a poem. She loves Nox Arcana (hmmm don’t ask me where she gets that) And this is the song that made her want to write Here’s the poem: Little ballerina dance your empty dance For you are a mere doll Your soul is captivated in a trance Words …
Prompt A: Who are you? Come out from behind that curtain and show yourself. Â I am the Bean’s mom. I remember when that wouldn’t have been first, but I am happy it is now. She’s the best thing I’ve ever done and I feel lucky every day that out …
It’s one of those days. Days I’m just too tired. I can’t think of what to write, so I’m going to do that thing that I learned to do with kids… I might send them to One Word and get them thinking about one word and writing about it for …
Just watchin TV, reading on my kindle, cleaning the house and wondering about interviewing. Just got Spotify set up. Trying that one out. Different than Pandora, but that might be good. After awhile several of my stations started to sound much alike. Only two weeks left of vacation. …
As usual, I am at the halfway point and I’m running out of words. And as usual, thinking of dropping out of 30 posts in 30 days. And as usual I’m having issues with my site—Mainly an automatic wordpress upgrade went through, around the same time as an ‘upload later’ …
I’m not actually sure how the Non November Nablopomo works. Do I have to follow the theme of “Swimâ€, respond to the prompts as in Reverb 10 or can I still write whatever on those days I need to write whatever? Have you ever had one of those days where …
That’s a quote of my dad’s. I don’t have anything significant to say, that’s what I’m thinking right now, but I’m doing a “just write†what we do in education to get kids to well, just write. I got one kid to write this really cool bit about his dog …
I’m thinking of flipping the name for my blog. I’ve had one or another T.S. Eliot quotes for awhile. The one before this was Sprawling on a Pin from Prufrock, one of my early favorites (what kind of a weird teenager likes Prufrock?) Oh look I’ve still got an old …
December 29 – Defining Moment Describe a defining moment or series of events that has affected your life this year. (Author: Kathryn Fitzmaurice) I’m starting to wonder if Reverb 10 is all I thought it would be. I hoped it would connect me with other folks on the web. For …

Well, I blame Tui of Mental Mosaic – I’d not heard about Reverb10. And though some of the writing on their ‘come join us†pages is a little twee for me, I like the idea. I usually get all reflective around my birthday and I did that of course this …
Ok, here goes. The other day, A post I read at Mental Mosaic , written by the effervescent Tui Cameron, got me thinking. And this is a BIG circle so bear with me. I noticed that all my writing projects—in school, jobs or personally have 3 distinct points on the …
I’m going to post some of my assignments on my blog and on Facebook. There’s quite a lot of writing and it’s good exercise. Callin All Angels The loss of one of my dearest friends, strangely wasn’t on my quick list of watershed moments, but when I stopped to think …
