Prairie Wind
A warm wind blows
across the prairie tonight
making ripples and waves
in the summer grass
tiny sparrows dart
through seas of slender reeds
dodging the billowing surf
of golden seed tips
reeds bend in the breeze,
their tops heavy with seed
with eager anticipation
of the coming autumn
when at last they will release
their heavy burden
to blow free across the prairie
word count 64

It’s no surprise that I read, like A LOT. My reading goal for 2019 is 52 books and I’m happy to say I’m well on my way. I also read a lot of different genres as you’ll see. So here’s what I read in February 2019, and a brief description

Anybody who’s followed me for awhile knows I’m a spoonie and a little bit of what that entails. Sometimes we spoonies need to explore a different creative channel and this year I’m trying to do just that. So imagine my delight when I found the Escapist Coloring Club over at lindaghill.com. Awesome! I love to color, it’s relaxing and creative and … did I mention it’s coloring? How cool is that.
I do art journal pages including some sort of art, usually collages, drawings, bits from colored pages etc. and the add some sort of writing, poetry, story, musings, etc. So for the first Saturday of the January Escapist Coloring Club Challenge, here’s what I’m working on. Somewhere along the way this month, I’ll show you some examples of what I do with these “art works” I create.

As you can see, I started simple. Check it out and join in the fun!
