Every day, a to-do list, Every day, the same. -- oh, maybe a doctor visit, lunch with a friend, easy to cross off once complete -- Every day, items complete. even those added in order to memorialize their completion. And - every day - there is a line that says "Write poem" which she thinks might need to be written in flashing neon to wake. her. up. But on his day, without forethought the pen said this: "Writing Session." and that, gentle reader, seemed to make a difference. Today. Thanks to Miz Quickly for a wonderful month of November prompts! I look forward to seeing the bunny again soon.

I’ve enjoyed reading your poems this month. Hope you keep at it, Barbara.
Thanks, Misky. I always admire what you do with such consistency day after day. I’m still so easily discouraged but I’m trying to keep at it. Thinking a lot about trees (thanks, Miz Q) and how much is going on underground when everything above is bare and feels barren. I’m trying to see that as a metaphor for my writing. We’ll see.
I’m hoping this is just a season of life and I’ll feel that deep need to write again. But the spark just isn’t there. I can so relate to your poem.
