I can't believe it's been four months since I wrote anything on my blog.
Life has been busy since the summer.
Also, I was unwell for months with a viral infection that laid me low.
I am, however seeing the wood for the trees now and am champing at the bit, with a
lot of willingness but few ideas.
I have decided to return to my Writing Group where I hope to get some inspiration.
The colours today as I walked along were such a wonderful sight. I love the yellows, the reds, the oranges as well as the browns and greens. in fact if you look closely you see all the colours there is, because that what the natural world is like and this time of year emphasises all of that.
Red
I thought of you this morning as I often do
The situation made me laugh and weep, it's true
I tried the door of another car, it was red, after all
Then I noticed I was wrong and heard my husband call
It's not even the same make as ours, he says, as if that makes a difference to me,
just like dad he raised his eyes, and waived in his hand, the key
And then it was that I remembered a particular time
when in you got beside a stranger - he was in his prime
You were both surprised at first and lost for words
dad knocking on the window just made it more absurd
You explained yourself as best you could, leaving nothing out
"his fault for parking in front of the butcher's," without a doubt
It still makes me chuckle a bit you see
It makes me think that's so like me
