Writing in Snow

Midweek Reflections: April 5, 2017

‘Idál (Justice), 17 Bahá (Splendour), 147 BE - Wednesday, April 5, 2017 CE

I still have poems to write for "Prince Musical Writing Challenge Contest"  so I need to get back to doing that. I'll start on the next poem on Thursday. I wrote three in one day which I think overtaxed my muse because I haven't wanted to work on them since. The next poem has to do with thieves in the temple, so tonight I'll keep a pen and paper beside the bed in case I get an idea. If I don't come up with something then I'll just start writing. That usually gets me going. If I have to edit before posting that all right.

Beauty
black and white cat
chasing sunlight across
a green shag carpet at first light
purring.
