I love the final two stanzas of this poem, connecting the cause and effect between life's little irritations with the energy to muster the words to vanquish the tension. Thank you.
(And I think the struggle of what to keep and what to let go is difficult. It's very interesting to me that the book came up as something you regretted getting rid of. A wonderful example.)
I enjoyed the full range of ruminations on yellow this week and all of the photos. It's so wonderful to see what catches the eye this way when honing in on something specific. You found some excellent ones!
I am going upstairs to find my battered paperback of The Dark Is Rising. It is a perfect read for me this month. Thank you for bringing it into the light again.
So glad others have read it. It is a perfect November read. I bought a used copy from Better World Books, then listened to an audiobook I got from the library.
Loved this entire post, Fran. What a keen eye you have to noticing the world around you. A very rich life indeed.

I generally do not like the color gray. Yet, I love the ginkgo leaf on that carpet. Sometimes our mind does not follow the rules we have made for it.
Good luck with your gray-yellow design.
"Poetry of the gathering dark." What a beautifully haunting phrase. Ought to be its own art genre.
Your words are insightful, your pictures, intriguing. Taken together, quite becoming!

Liked the bus pic. Will look into The Dark is Rising.
Thank you, Bill. I hope you like that book.
