Earlier this week, I posted the #inktober and #poemtober for Days 8 through 13 on Instagram. Today I have Days 14 and 15 for Poetry Friday. I admit both were a challenge, one more than the other for an autumnal theme.
Day 14: tick

And she's sharing a great opportunity that will be available in 2022. And she has a gorgeous autumn poem. I love this line: "how time eats daylight." It's a great mystery. I've been attempting to be intentional in writing a haiku each day in response to the #inktober prompt. October 6 was "spirits" and October 7 is "fan".  cirrus clouds wrap the Hunter's Moon night spirits ©Jone Rush MacCulloch  nature's fans

Laura at Laura Purdie Salas is hosting Poetry Friday today and sharing more of the Poetry Princess Challenge. It was to find a poem from the Poetry Friday Community and write a response using the Tanka form. Curious about tanka? Read this post by Kelly.  I went to the blogs and landed at Mary Lee's Poetrepository. She wrote a sonnet (and for AJ no less) about Summer's End. It is a cornucopia of juicy and rich words. Meanwhile, I spied my last remaining Summer Poetry Swap. Guess who it was from? Mary Lee and I knew that this was a serendipitous moment. I have been thinking today about the fact that I don't really have a favorite season. There is great anticipation for the arrival of the new season and all it has to hold. Toward the end, the anticipation of the season builds. .Using a couple of the cards Mary Lee sent me I responded to "Summer's End" with a
Dodoitsu (7-7-7-5), part of the summer swap and a tanka. I pulled some of her words from the sonnet. scarlett maple leaves quiver apples finish crisp on trees roads that are unexpected fall’s many textures ©jone rush macculloch. 2021 wake before sunrise cool air hushes summer heat lingering too long. harvest moon and Orion set in the west. autumn arrives ©jone rush macculloch. 2021 |
