Winter’s Lover
I’m not getting around doing much reading lately. Listening to my own head and writing notes into drafts, into outlines, revised again and again trying to avoid the trash; has been taking the days. But, I continue my short walks through the woods outside my “cave” and enjoy autumn swooshing summer away in grand fashion; as the days get shorter and the nights get longer, she prepares for a great sleep over, getting completely naked for winter.
Fallen leaf in frost
Pines shelter an autumn grove
for winter’s lover

I love the parallel of inner and outer reality. How happy that makes solitude and the anticipation of the leaf’s first fling. Each word drawn into a sentence (and then built upon) might feel the same way!

Oh, I love that image, of nature getting completely naked in readiness for winter. Very cool. I am not getting around much either, and am also working on a book of stories. So glad to hear you are too.

Solitude is good for the soul. Beautifully penned. I love the imagery and the sentiments, topped off by a splendid haiku. 🌹

A good balance to break the impasse by going for little walks in between takes. It helps!

‘sleep over’… it can play a few ways (probably more than a few) – what came first to my mind was the sleepovers with friends that kids have, and staying up into the wee hours until giddiness sets in and a certain surreal cast to things manifests… but then there are adult sleep overs too *wink*
