Trees tremble
in winter’s clutch,
hardening soil
hardens hearts,
frost will follow
till spring’s breath
beckons icicles
to gently weep.

Has winter already arrived for you? I am not anxious for it here in Canada because once it hits, it lingers far too long. Stay warm 😉
It’s on the corner, waiting to catch us. Ireland had its own hurricane last week, they braced for doomsday and stocked up on beer and tea! Hope you are well my dear
Well, thankfully the hurricane did not reach you. I’m well. Still slogging away at novel edits. Next manuscript evaluation in two weeks. Yikes! Fingers crossed this mess will eventually turn into an actual book. Cheers my friend!
Fingers crossed for you too!
I like this one, Damien. Uncharacteristically lyrical. You do this well.
Thank you Jane, it is uncharacteristic, I’m testing different shoes. Hope you are settling in well at home.
They fit well, your new shoes. The weather has been very kind so far. It’s hot today, all the windows are open and the cats are chasing lizards…round the bedroom…
Did you move to a zoo? Sounds inspiring and hilarious and a little dangerous too!
The cats were thrilled to begin with and caught mice in the barn and the lizards that drop inside every time we open a window. But they’ve got bored with that now and it’s actually quite rare that they can be arsed to chase them. They usually just sit and intimidate them.
