Enga mellom fjella

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

Enga mellom Fjella

Sentinel

Marked
as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
my rocky soil, my withered grass
lays prey to the empty sky.

In response to "I shan't be someone else..."

An apple a day.... I just posted a comment in your blog then randomly opened this and there you were! 2014... was just yesterday?

I wrote that I was on page 3392 of my journal ... I'm on page 5451 now.

Little successes... still apply!

Also... I'm still scattered.

In response to "The Fox and the Authoress (flash ~280 wc)"

Found you! I don't take enough time to poke through people's blogs... I'm glad to read this. I loved those stories when I was little.

Thank you, S 🤦

I edited this and made it into a separate item. "The Black Brick"

Like the old saying: if these walls could speak...

In response to "The Black Brick "

Liked this. Minimal anthropomorphisation despite an inanimate object being the PoV 'character.'

In response to "M#2 rock 40w (4.mar.180) "Upon this rock""

Lyn's a Witchy Woman: The Rock always remembers until even it is worn away by wind and water, reduced to grains of sand.

As a child I felt safe alone in my summer-garden or winter-closet. I would have envied Harry Potter's nook under the stairs.

I have good night-vision. I see the hundred shades of black and grey.

Fortunately, I live in a world of a thousand colors by day.

Will this castle bring her peace? you peace? me peace?

I miss the pitter=patter of little feet. Sometimes the loss overwhelms so much seek solitude in a place where darkness can only reside.

I wonder if you reside in the darkness too when I read your comments.

In response to ""No Gift From Santa This Year" D22 #17 40w 'poverty'"

Anni Pon Perhaps overdone on the references. Glad you picked up on 'venison'. 40 words makes it tight.

I was homeless years after I took in refugees. Folks did help me. Maybe that thought was lurking in the back of my mind. "Homeless" is a deadly label in so many ways. I left Kansas for Montana in 2008 because I wanted to start anew.

In response to ""No Gift From Santa This Year" D22 #17 40w 'poverty'"

I love this idea, and all the references and imagery. Especially the line: ‘Poverty was a red-nosed light-bulb flashing "homeless”…’ it’s really tragic to think of the jolly man who gives everyone gifts every year in such dire straits he has to eat his rain deer, and no one would help him….

I like the details, and anyone called Jojo the dwarf.

In response to "Lo, the nightingale [180.58] J2 40w "high" "

Fun piece.

Called to mind The Beatles number.

Over 2,500 steps...

...if one goes up and down 30 times...

...and I may have to...

If life is a game of chess... I'm history. Better if it were Clue... except IRL I'm usually clueless.

I got a postcard from Sheila, a card and picture from Judy, a penguin card from Lavinia. I need to check my mail more often...

Not my circus, not my monkeys. I've managed to stay out of the drama at the Senior center. I'm curious... but it's better if I don't know. Plus, I'm ticked that they are only open 2 1/2 days the next two weeks.

Either I trim my beard or start wearing a red suit!

42 steps to my place on the 3rd floor (2nd in British). What went down in November must come up this December. Alack, no elevator or hot balloon.

me:

My landlord gave me the keys to the truck where my stuff is stored. I have today and tomorrow to get it all out. They need the truck Sunday to move an elderly member of the family.

So... here's to going up and down at least 30 times! I suspect that some of the younger "dudes" might see me and take pity.

I fought with the computer to put photos of Porto at facebook. Ultimately, I won. I now have over 1,400 photos of my month in Portugal and Galicia on-line. And I'm not done...

If I ever want to "revisit" my trips... got the photos!

Light rain and snow today. Drizzle and snizzle. I was hoping for two days of 70º weather, sunny from sunrise to sunset at 9 pm. (That would be June... LOL.)
