Ah – when all is said and finally done
And the last tear has fallen from the sky
Come, let me sing to you a lullaby
Of golden leaves and winter love …
Smell the mushrooms as they grow
And the sweet perfume of the woods
Sit here beside me as I light the fire
I’ll warm the wine I mixed with spices …
We’ll make love and pass the nights away
Until the blackbird sings his song again
Then spring will have tiptoed in with the dawn
And I’ll have vanished in the warm morning sun …
Ah – I’ll return when all is said and done
Upon the tears of an October rainy day
When trees are golden and skies are grey.

Thanks … I had a computer at hand when one of those poems popped up in my head .. so jumped out of bed and typed it up on the dashboard. Then .. hell, I was putting the photo up and the writing was emphasized because I wanted to transfer it to Word and puff … it disappeared. I was fortunate enough to be able to reconstruct it … Glad you liked it!

Yikes I just saw a typo in the third line (now fixed) … I’m so glad you liked the write … there’s a long story behind it … which you can read in the comments … but a long story short … it woke me up, I wrote it, accidentally erased it … and then rewrote it more or less from memory (my Muse was all het up as in excited). Practically it wrote itself – twice.

Yes, I read that and kept bobbing my head…sheeesh, this has happened to me too and I shout (living alone I suppose I can but still I’m in an apartment) NO!!!! those are difficult times because we never get to write exactly what we originally wrote.

True … I say though, I wouldn’t mind if someone gave me a hint that I’d goofed … there was a kind lady who used to do that when I wrote Friday Fictioneers.

I sent a series of flash fictions to a colleague who is on her second book. She’s encouraged me for a while to publish shorts to start.

Ah .. on writing … he says, begin with short stories … trying to write one a day, before even trying to write a novel.
