A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.

I'm starting a new blog because

BOOK

Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

"Underwater Stones"   [E] by Joy

Mini-review: I liked it, mostly for the message of aging and the way it's laid out as free verse. Doesn't flow as smooth as I'd like though and a couple odd words (omit?) or phrasing caught me. From 2003 "it is what it is" and I give it a 4.4.

Prompt: Have you ever experienced a nor'easter? What was it like?

Not really. Around the great Lakes we had LES Lake Effect Snow. If the wind direction was just right we would have wind AND snow. It would come in bands.

A nor'easter looks like a hurricane and has some of the same features. High winds that change directions, lots of moisture.

In the plains it was tornados and derechos. Here it's a storm system from Canada backing up to the west giving us a Hell Gate Wind (so called because it comes through Hell Gate Canyon) with easterly breezes about 40 mph.

Mostly in the valley it is calm. Which is fine on a sunny cool day like yesterday but not fine when smoke fills the valley or inversion caps our skies with a layer of grey.

No letting go

My flaming fire, reduced to embers
a summer lost, autumn remembers
as winter covers me with fresh snow
that twinkles in your eyes that know

I always loved you

but dared not make my fantasy real
until spring's melt allows hearts to heal,
for you must live and I must abide
ere May's blooming, Moon's change of tide.

I will love you then

when floating ashes return to earth
mesmerizing all who'll witness rebirth
of one who could not abandon you
to life's slow death — I begin anew

my unfinished quest.
