dark and cloudy days i'm scribbiling down the dreams spring isn't far away


I downloaded this book last night! I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down!
Lots of wonderful short stories about winter magic. It contains explanations for many Celtic terms, such as Yule, Solstice …, and the meaning of winter decorations we add to our house. And it has recipes! I can’t wait to try some of them.
And of course, being Colleen’s book it has to have poetry. Many beautiful poems in there, and the illustrations are lovely.
The poem below is an example of all the goodness you will find in this book.

twilight light from within candlelight and journal the thoughts are scribbled and sorted hurry a healthy breakfast and lunch prep flying as butterfly the office waits morning
Tanka Tuesday prompt is ‘share your day’. I have written a butterfly cinquain to describe a little bit of my early mornings.

Gray tones, the closet is loaded
no feelings and expression in there
only a uniform for blending and never being seeing
between red, green, yellow, and pink
the gray scarf shall be chosen
blending, unseeing
red shoes, heels and lust the hidden shine of the past it will be revealed
The gray scarf is the Theme Prompt for Tanka Tuesday this week.
come all together together we are stronger strong as our pure faith the enemy is coming coming to break out our peace

Tanka Tuesday – theme prompt “The Nature of Lightning” – I’m sharing a Butterfly Cinquain about my process of creating a draft, putting ideas together, scribbling, and words floating until they reach the paper, the ground, and an explosion. Hope you enjoy it!
