Prompt 82: Fog

Thanks to Sweetest in the Gale for this week's prompt, fog. Thanks, also, for the narrative, poem, and image.

This week’s fog prompt reminded me of something hanging heavily in my heart every September. Cold weather will be here soon, and along with that, the inevitable winter blues that I struggle with every year. Fall is always bittersweet for me because I love its crisp weather and beautiful foliage. But what comes after is something I dread: the cold, bleak winter. As hard as I try, the grayness always makes its way into my spirit, enveloping me and clinging while I sag from its weight. And every year, I just hang on helplessly and wait for April. Thank God, spring always comes! It’s why spring is my favorite season of the year…I feel reborn and hopeful, just like every budding tree and flower.

The fog settles in

Seeping into low places

Filling depressions

Prompt 81: Thirst


My Bellavia brings us this week's prompt, thirst. Thanks, Janice, for this, and thanks for the image and poem:


there's no moon, no stars
clouds invade such sultry nights
prayer is a light

crickets sing softly
metronomes of time are heard
street lights glow in heat

parched lives stare upward
flickered dreams do fade
somewhere it's raining
