Musing…
“The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Charise’s Turn:
It’s been a good year for poetry publication, one to celebrate. It’s been a hard year as well; but rather than put an emphasis on this, I’m choosing to celebrate my muse. She has a way of landing wherever, and however, I am.
Here is a poem gift to close our 2021 blog (with a photo by Annie Spratt):
December
Less
and less
delicious warmth
as winter unwraps
its grey forlorn.
Also
––O also,
sotto voce––
a silver gleam adorns
the boughs bereft
to say, like a dare, adore me.
~ Charise M. Hoge
Get Fired Up:
Thank you for joining us in celebration of the muse.
