falling

Tina Stewart Brakebill

I love the Fall. I love jackets and scarves and boots and hot chocolate and blustery days. But I also love the feel of Fall. I love knowing that the changing colors and the bare tree branches aren’t just about the end of summer. Falling leaves are a vital part of the cycle of life. I also love the crackle under our feet when I’m walking hand and hand with my guy. We’ve had a lot of Autumn walks in our many years together and Autumn really does bring renewed love.

But mostly, I love the BOOTS!

memories unwind

of soft scarves and falling leaves

autumn’s love renewed 

thanks for a great inspiration.

the world is on fire

the world is on fire

but still we say let’s do drinks

and analyze raw data

but it’s an art not a science

so we take no drastic measures

as we blame social media

then we wake to another shocking catastrophe

As this might indicate, I’m full of sunshine and light this morning. HA! The muse goes where the muse goes, but I’m still hoping for a better day. 

Thanks for a challenging Sunday Whirl. Check out the word prompts below.

one day I’ll say my piece

and rise above the horror

one day I’ll speak my mind

and live to see tomorrow

Thanks to the dumpster fire we’re currently living through as well as the following for the word prompts (SPEAK, ONE DAY, and HORROR) that inspired this 22-word … I don’t know what it is: a poem, a promise, a threat??

she said but he said-Flashback Friday

For Fandango’s Flashback Friday, I reached back to the days when we still thought that maybe there might be lasting consequences for the lies.
