Well, it’s been a week. In review I realized I even missed a day! I had no idea! As I mentioned today, I have several unfinished poems. I present them to you here…Fibs minus 1. Feel free to finish them in the comments … 8 syllables, or not. Maybe they don’t need to be “finished”.

Fib Minus 1 Poem Dump

1-
no 
one
ever
said it would
be easy, but that’s life

2- 
break
of
dawn when
light meets dark
dreams fade into mist

3-
storm 
clouds
blossom
into view
slow, intentional

And…a Full Fib that didn’t make the cut.

when
truth
threatens
opinions
lies gain a foothold
distorting all reality

You get the picture. This week was a little scattered!

But most importantly, my lesson this week as a full time caretaker with a full time job is this: don’t forget to be kind and take care of yourself while you’re taking care of others. It’s a good reminder.

I’m so grateful, truly, for this oasis, where I can pour my thoughts out. Have a wonderful week.

ReVerse Poem - Sunday, 23 July 2023

wind whips through the trees
birds
emerge
out loud
the air lingering, flower blushed

what ails you?

Oh, and before I send this…an update on the Carolina Wren brood…it’s been one week since they emerged from their shells! Mom and dad have been stellar parents providing the chicks with plenty of bugs (it’s what’s on the menu). I managed to get a peak into the nest. We’re thinking four…maybe five hungry mouths to feed. One more week before they fledge… amazing!!!
