day 301
day 297…a proper glimmer
As promised, a proper glimmer. Busy day out and about…voted…did some shopping…got my COVID shot (while they’re still available! And now I’m taking a moment to take it all in, to call it a day. It was a good day actually. But the is nothing better than this…Gabby snoring on my lap as I rest my eyes a bit. Ending today on a glimmer. We don’t deserve dogs. I realize how blessed I am to have charge over this loyal little soul.
May you have a lovely rest of your weekend. Much love, peace and glimmers to you!

day 292
by a thread
roots of grass,
seeds of change
where hope dwells
~kat
Still thinking about the past weekend’s grassroots peaceful nationwide events and feeling hopeful.
I’m late in posting today’s glimmers. My schedule has kept me busy! you may remember I had gotten a beautiful African Violet plant over the summer. It was three plants in one pot actually, and once the blooms had faded I knew it was time to separate the plants giving them their own bed of fresh soil to settle into. So, I did that over the weekend. On Monday, several days after the transplant each plant is thriving! The hue you see in the photos above is from a grow lamp. I am spoiling them a bit. Well not really. Giving them luscious soil and plenty of UV light is not spoiling. Plants, like people need the most basic things to thrive. Over 7 million people came out on Saturday to remind those who may have forgotten or who just don’t care, of that very fact!
Bonus glimmer! You may also notice my rescued sago pine plant featured above. I had to be very brave in my intervention, clipping away the wilted fronds as was suggested in my research on recovery for sago palms. To my delight nubs of new life erupted from the base. And now a month or more later, just look at those leaf limbs! She is coming back! Such a beautiful soul.
Much love, peace and glimmers to you!

days 283-284-285 ~playing catch up
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind my friends. Had a biopsy on Thursday to check a troubling spot…won’t know the results for a few weeks.
Met my second great-granddaughter on Saturday, and also spent time at a fall festival with my youngest daughter’s family and three of my grandkids.
Chores and dinner with friends on Sunday. And today shopping for an alternative heat source so we are not stranded and freezing when the power goes out this coming winter…notice I didn’t say if we lose power, but when.
Oh and in the midst of all this one of my beloved crows fell ill, injured or just old, and I kept vigil, caring for him best I could with extra food, because of course he decided to do it at our feeder near our house. He was nowhere to be found today…I can only surmise he either fell victim to a predator, or picked a private place to ascend. Now my other crows are staying clear of me and the feeder. They must think I killed him. At least the deer came by this evening to cheer me up.
So…I did manage to write a few poems today. It was an effort. And I did manage to find several glimmers in the midst of this chaos. Don’t even get me started on the state of the world! Looks like the Gaza Riviera is one step closer to becoming DT’s next venture. (I am happy for the families reunited but there are still people and children suffering…). Thank goodness for glimmers. Much love, peace, and glimmers to you. ~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨
Catch up Monday
day 282
as the crow
.
dies
the flock members
cry
for one of their own
hovering close by, never alone
cycle
of life, so bittersweet
ironically
dying crows
foretell good fortune

Pi Archimedes poem ~ Syllable count by line: 3.1415926535
A dead crow in your yard may symbolize transformation, change, or new beginnings, while some believe it represents the end of bad things. In case you missed it this is my glimmer in the midst of sadness for this beautiful soul. It’s gift to me in parting.
day 283
hypocrisy
peacemakers don’t deal in hate
they don’t destroy families, denying rights
crush all dissent, while stirring up fights
these cruel acts are not up for debate
they don’t destroy families, denying rights
peacemakers don’t deal in hate

Biolet - It is a six line poem, and like the triolet, the first two lines are repeated as the last two lines, however in reverse. The rhyme scheme of the biolet thus can be expressed as ABbaBA (with the capital letters representing the repeated lines).
Some glimmers in the midst of madness…
day 284
biopsy ~ a haiku
it might be cancer
a benign statement proving
it’s not in my head
~kat
And finally, taking in the beauty that surrounds me. It’s moments like these that I cherish, come what may. Peace to you. ✨💚✨
day 282 ~ random thoughts and poetry
butch
they call her sir and him and he
with her short hair it’s hard to tell
her voice is deep, she’s butch as hell
no trace of femininity
with her short hair it’s hard to tell
they call her sir and him and he
why should it matter anyway
she’s female biologically
but people judge by what they see
assume the worst, shes trans or gay
she’s female biologically
why should it matter anyway
people fear what they don’t know
choose sides, draw lines, lash out in hate
a quest to make this country great
those not like them will have to go
refuse to learn, lash out in hate
people fear what they don’t know
men o’pause
it starts with goosebumps
then come the tingling flashes
menopause is hot
paws of attraction
puppy breath
intoxicating
mind control
gone viral
doom scrolling
a numbing pastime
with recipes
word dump
I have thoughts
things that should be said
mums the word
~kat
much love, light, and glimmers to you.
