Invitation for D.C. challenge: Swoon

take flight

she wanted to fly to the heavens
maybe sit on the moon
be with the stars that twinkle in the sky
laugh with the heavens and swoon

yet it was not time for that flight
the rooted trees held firm to her
the task was set
open to the earthly plane
allow it to permeate her soul

I am the host for drawing challenge this weekend

and invite you to join us 

October 4th and 5th

to share anything that is inspired by the word 

and it's meaning:

Swoon

with the piece above i use swoon; to admire, be ecstatic

still there are more meanings

i look forward to your sharing

whether it be food, photography, art of some sort

writing, it is up to you

please let me know in the comments if you would like to join in

so that i can add you in the links come this Friday

I would so enjoy your company!

Thank you Ariane of Rose for organizing our

Part Fairy

I met a little girl
walking along an autumn forest

her voice some human
 some fairy
 
I said:
I think you are part fairy

she replied:
I know I am


bits of her words were entirely human and English
others flew away before I could hear them
it was as though they were carried off by butterfly wings
words laced with music, lyrical

DC: Second Hand

morning sketch

I usually draw from my imagination

it was fun to sketch from my yard

 treasures can be found second hand

already

broken in

wonderfully worn

full of life's spirit

yesterday i was given this bench

(thank you Annie and Charlie!)

it's seat boards aged with life

i cleared a spot for it along my pond

raking the grasses with the copper 'second hand' rake

a place to sit

to sketch

to be

to sip

to chat with friends

a glimpse of the pond through

lovely details

 

the view from the bench

on this beautiful autumn morning

Sweet Equinox to you!

Happy Autumn too!

Thank you Joke

for being our wonderful host

Fox and Friend

 the wee fox sat

in conversation

with his friend

who wandered the spiral path

this bolete grew on my lawn this week

UNTIL

a wee squirrel came and took it away

i wish i had seen that

for my squirrels are tiny

twice as big as this edible fungi

~

sweet Sunday and beyond to you!
