April, ALL is well with my soul ~

It’s April (fool or no fool!), and Brenda (https://brendasrandomthoughts.wordpress.com/) alerted me that it’s time for the A-to-Z Challenge, which I’ve not participated in for many years.  So we, Cale & Hagar, signed up to share the daily duty (full of hope for creative stamina)–let’s begin!

The Once Upon a Time Girl

Once upon a time

there was a girl

who liked to write…

teachers exclaimed

over her talent

some of them

were scared

by her stories

so for a while

she wrote only

“nice” stories

and readers

found them

tiresome…

one day she

stopped writing

anything

disappeared

in winds of

dolorous March…

if you chance to see

snippet of words

rush by, scattered

amid leaves Autumn

left behind

don’t give them

second thought

they may be mere

lost spirit

of story she forgot…

Sentinel Crow

Same sentinel crow

takes his post, narrow rooftop

surveys gray stillness

knows March is all deception

lifting wings, he’ll file report

~ Cale

March Ruckus

Sharp scent portentous

Wind’s kicking up a ruckus

leaves, wildlife scatter

but memories–no, never

Madness knits, soon drops stitches

~ Cale
