Instead of the usual journal entry, I wrote a story scene. I hope I might come back to it sometime and write more…
The poem today was prompted by The Sunday Whirl. The words found there are in italics. You might like to try your hand at creating something from the prompt, if so visit the site.
Making Of A Poem
Insidious waves
Nick the tinted drifts of thought
Spreading so gentle
Among the split decisions
Making preludes to poems.
Creativity
Reaches out to fix words in
Vivid arrangements,
Not appearing tinny on
Tip of a soft lisping tongue.
Every fading hour
Disengages from its limbs
Minutes filled with words
Circling about a point
Written down for the ages.
The poet creates
Lines to be long remembered,
At least by virtue
Of sentences etched on
Pages lasting forever.

My niece, Carrie Leigh, and great-niece, Edith Leigh…
Another shot of Edith Leigh…
I am grateful:
1. I woke up at 8:00 this morning.
2. My niece, Leigh, and great-niece Edith Leigh visited.
3. They brought my books back.
4. They took off the garbage.
5. Mom cooked cabbage for lunch.
I hope you are relaxing this Sunday, but now is the time to create something wondrous. I know you have great things in your imagination just waiting for the opportunity to appear before the world. You are able to do whatever you set your mind to, so get busy.
