Writer. Feminist. Historian. Person.
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.
This was originally published in September, 2018.

she said but he said
wilting efforts and fresh lies
laid bare to the world
Double thanks to Putting My Feet in the Dirt and RonovanWrites
This was originally posted on 7/25/2019 as A Change is Gonna Come (Hopefully).
Sadly, my feelings of being “uninspired or depressed or lethargic” also are like a bad flashback. Anyway … here’s to hope
The world spins around
Bringing a spark of new hope
As fuel for the flames
I’ve been WP MIA for a couple of weeks. Between the heat and the constant rain and the general state of our world, I’ve been uninspired or depressed or lethargic. “Whatever” has been my go-to feeling of late. Ugh. But I’m trying to lift myself out of it. So thanks to Sue’s beautiful photo challenge for giving me a hopeful image to go along with the spark of hope coming out of Puerto Rico.
I’ll leave you with my title inspiration-Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.”
Peace.
As I say below, this piece was written originally on April 9, 2020 for Sue’s WritePhoto challenge. Today seemed an apt time to revisit it. Thanks to Fandango’s Flashback Friday Challenge
Thanks Sue. Visit her for details on the #writephoto challenge and other great pieces.
As part of Fandango’s Flashback Friday, I’m posting this haiku from 2/21/2019 inspired by Sue’s Write Photo challenge (photo below).
Resolute they wait
Imprisoned in time and space
Anticipating
Today, I’m a little less hopeful, thus an updated reflection …
time’s transformation
quiets anticipation
as it erodes hope
