One Word Sunday Framed

Come to the house of mourningYou will see me thereIn the darkening shadowsOf sighing halls and stairs.Candles brighten doorwaysNever flicker strongThough many people enterAnd some may call it home. Come to the house of mourningYou will see her thereThe woman crying softlyOn trembling floors of doubt.At times she lies there prostrateAs faith turns into dustTill…

This adobe house sits just across the narrow dirt street from the town’s famous church. It seems like it’s close enough to perhaps get by without a window-saint, but the residents evidently felt otherwise. Truchas, New Mexico photographed 7.2.2024 window saint

Dear Michigan, Lake Michiganlook out to see(although, it is a lake) it is huge and deepwide and broadand beautiful.

“Words have magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair.” – Sigmund Freud Last Friday was Mr. D’s last day at his pre-school/daycare. He’s been there for nearly four years. In three different classrooms with so many great teachers, this school has been such a wonderful influence. When I went to…

A Decent Proposal at Petrovaradin Fortress. Novi Sad, Serbia. April 2021. After months of scheming… pondering… second guessing myself and downright worrying the big day had finally come. Yes, for better or for worse this was it. I just had to go with the flow, pick the right moment and let the chips fall where…

In response to: dVerse poetics hosted by Punam this week I have written about the three babies I lost in the early 1970s when you didn’t grief or even mention having miscarriages. These are the guide lines Sadje gave us. “So, for today’s Poetics challenge, I would like you to write about grief (in general or personal). If that…

It Has Been Hot. Even down here in the south west temperatures reached the mid twenties. Too hot for me to venture out in and I bet there are some sore sunburned people. Those choosing this week to holiday in Cornwall have been very lucky though I expect the beaches have been heaving. Little has…

~ brief flights of fancy forest goddess emerges dragonfly magic fairies, mosses, dancing, play a virtual forest day ~ ~ My real life and attitude are rather stale, as they have been for years. They need a thorough cleaning, cleansing, and clearing to make room for some fresh perspectives, feelings, and actions. So today, I’m…

Dandelion greens, are greens I use often in various ways, as can be seen in THIS post. Their bright green color and strong texture, that keep even after steaming, along with their pleasant, slightly bitter, flavor, are a tasty and nutritional addition to any dish. In the simple dish I have here, I have added…

“Hold on to your hat, Stephen,” Harriet warns. “You’re about to discover how little you know.” https://roughwighting.net/2024/07/19/a-humdinger-of-a-ghost-story/ In an irritated, and yes, arrogant tone, Stephen responds, “I know you’ve created drama where there is none. My mom, your supposed best friend, was extremely successful. She was a famous literary novelist. I think you rode on…

Peaches Do you remember the days of peaches?Do you remember the way of peaches–their fragrance sweet in the sultry air,fuzzy-furred and opened inside pink—just there–the way their juices dripped on our skin and hair—leaving drops of summer shared under the peach-gold sun, we laughed and loved,under the fruited moon, we moaned, and glovedby summer, loved…

All in a day, I bumped into ‘bookends’, parents of a student in my first class forty years ago, and parents of a child this past year. Michelle was one of my first students.  The local newspaper came to take photos when the new school opened.  1984. There I am along with Michelle on the…

My mom and I lived in Dolton, Illinois, and she, too, enjoyed all elements of theater and music. A fellow graduate,…

Haha! If y’all don’t know what it is… Ok, ok. I’ll give you three. Since I am generous, after all. 1. Caffeine consumption. 2. Napping. 3. Hiking. Are you getting tired of these, yet? The answer to most things in life seems like it’s almost always caffeine and sleep! There! I answered without a ton…
