Ides of October
black rips the sky
bolts her to a flash
a dry time thunders
somewhere north of fall
brings her colors down
bolts her to a flash
when black tilts the sky

Junk for Sunday Scribblings
Sunday Scribblings posts: The prompt for this week is: Junk or Spam.
Junk? Maybe. But it's memory to me. Full to overflowing, my house is memorable, perhaps. Messy, for sure.
The six-year-old who visits here claims that I should get organized, but his eyes light up when he ventures into one of the storage rooms. A room which can only be browsed by carefully following a tiny trail through myriad open boxes across a floor covered with just put it here for now clutter.
'It makes me feel creative,' he confesses while digging through art brushes, old paintings, a series of palettes and watercolors, assorted books, magnetic word kits that spell poetry on metal plates taped to old tile boards, paper of all sizes and colors, a paper cutter that's sharp enough to sever fingers (or slash a robe – I have proof), tiles, magnets, glues and tapes, acrylic paints, fabric paints plus fabrics, strings of beads, blank canvas bags waiting for magic, a spinning card rack, face paints, sidewalk chalk, rocks, spare swimming suits, blank t-shirts, CD's yearning to hold home-made movies, ribbons, mirrors, frames, glues, pipe cleaners and left-over dowel sticks that turn into a young neophyte drummer's magic when they coax rhythm from an oatmeal box plus a biscotti tin and several new cans of PlayDoh.
I try to look at the bright side. Yeah, it's junk. But it sometimes makes me, too, feel creative.

M for ABC Wednesday
ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 5: M

*My poetry books North of Summer and South of Winter are currently available at Amazon and, as always, available from my LuluBookstore in print or as download.*
Mirrors reflect life. But I use them to reflect light.
The corner where my treadmill waits is a dark and boring spot, mentally and physically. With the addition of mirrors it changes complexion and replicates many of the objects I value which are in an opposite corner.
Tiny craft mirrors are glued to ribbon or set into jigsaw pieces. The larger ones showed up on clearance tables long ago.
Mind you, I NEVER look into them ~~ I try to avoid breakage with a passion that borders on paranoia.
If, perchance, my face and/or body shows up in a mirror I glance quickly at that stranger, offer a pleasant smile and nod before moving away in a blink.
Do you always recognize yourself in a mirror?
