Above photo: my every morning: oats and coffee, a little listening, studying, planning, and a lot of writing On DAY 11 OF 210 OF NO SWEETS, YAY! It’s getting so much easier too. Right now I’ve been taking a little break from painting because the poetry and other creative writing endeavors have taken top place in my creativity.
Here’s my poem and below the poem is a number line showing my sweet progress.
…
SAVORED LEAF
…
A dust devil destroys stacks
Of carefully raked leaves,
A Skittering dustup which the wind wins.
But one bright leaf, whisked up by a kid,
…
Mesmerized by the skirmish,
Having kicked a rock as far as he could,
But finally losing it,
Crams the new find deep in his pocket
…
And later tries to pull it out
A crumbling faded memory
Better to savor but not to save,
To leave it where it lay
…
