Donnetta Norris of Texas is our host for the fourth day of October’s Open Write at http://www.ethicalela.com. She inspires us to write birthday poems, featuring the month we were born. You can read her full prompt here. I’m not quite lover of the heat with my July birthday, but I do love cool and cold temperatures. Because how can we feel all cozy and hygge in July when there’s no contrast to the warmth we seek?
I am using July by Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts as my inspiration. He writes:
I am for the open meadows,
Open meadows full of sun,
Where the hot bee hugs the clover,
The hot breezes drop and run.
I respond:
I am for the snow blanketing
the countryside quietly in the night
….and all day, too……
….and that glorious 6 a.m. phone call: School’s Out!
