Octpowrimo 28 and 29

29th Oct 2017

So the clocks have gone back and I lay in bed awake for a bit and now am up and it's only just gone six. How lovely to see the day break through the black  that was night. I do love to get an early start.

We are coming to the last few days of the octpowrimo challenge and although I didn't manage to write everyday I have produced the right number of poems, at least till now.
I have enjoyed reading some of the other participants work too . All so varied .

Day 28
The theme for today is belonging:

                                                                          A Haiku:

Ancestors

Rub between fingers
stems of lavender flowers
breathe in lost loved ones

Day 29

October 

On the ground now  leaves -russet and golden
Crispy, crunchy underfoot
The last few to surrender  remain 
On the tree, mottled green, 
Bravely hanging onto the bare skeleton 
Even they will fall before long 
Remember no more the fruitful warmth of youth

  1. how scents make beelines to memories is a beautiful mystery. I very much like your acrostic and the image of a leaf clinging to the skeleton of a tree
