My first draft of November, and the month’s three-quarters gone — oy. I’m accustomed to shoe-horning in a fair amount of me-time rather late at night, after everyone has gone to bed, but lately it’s just not happening.
But after days of a line here, a deleted stanza there, I think this morning’s work has done it. I always struggle with tone, and a tendency to wrap things up too soon — which is only partly a result of my fractured writing schedule. Anyway, the draft below will stay up a couple days.
[poof!]

Oh this is beautiful, Marie! So lovely….thank you for sharing it!
this line is the heart of it: “Yet how easily/ they love their lives,”. that one’s a wowza!
Nice work! I think this is a great “mood” piece.
Thank you kindly, one & all!
