Eclecticism
Halloween decor
has become
a thing
in my home
where they find
a spot to sit
and never again
do they roam
from meditative
skeleton
to a raven
on a perch
they linger past
october
to stay
throughout the year

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Different Scenarios
Prompt “The purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.”
Scenario 1 – James is wondering how to improve himself after realizing he dates people who fall under the archetype of being narcissistic.
Work on how you view yourself by taking time to better examine and appreciate all you have accomplished and all that you have to be grateful for. Only when you are willing to change how you see yourself and your place in the world will you then be able to break the cycle of picking those too self centered to be committed to you and your needs.
Scenario 2 – There’s a job fair coming up, and Daniel has no idea what to do. He is torn between wanting to go for his dreams and needing to pay the bills.
A change from what you’ve been doing so far in life is needed. Seek the path that will give you a sense of accomplishment and sate you emotionally. You can over time find greater success and sense of accomplishment through changing your path, rather than staying on the one you’re currently on.
Scenario 3 – A general reading (feel free to add your own flair or a backstory).
Only through changing and growing away from what has already been done can you find a path to feeling accomplished and emotionally sated moving forward.

Miss Luna
Attentive and sweet
she’s waiting for me
with ears perked
and listening
for the key to slide
into the lock
and turn
to announce
my arrival
and send her running
to say hello
and rush eagerly
to greet me
at the end of the rug
by my front door

Rainy Days
I am for you
and you for me
and together
we wander
from glacier stream
to forest glen
from mossy grove
to soft, soft sand
as water washes
between our toes
and bits of shell
tumble to and fro
while fingers catch
and lace with another
as we walk along
we belong together

The Battle
Little bursts
of positivity
shine like starlight
in the darkness
creating
a roadmap
to follow
one foot
in front of the other
as the struggle
to stay out
of the pit
lingers
and I fight my way
toward the light

October Goodness
The spooky season
has come
and with it
a little fun
with round one
of decorations
galore
hung outside
the door
and lots of sweets
on every counter
and filling
every bowl
a season of temptation
and gluttony
and more.
