Want to be somewhere Else

[AlLeYkAt86-]

It's around 65 degrees right now in that lovely undependable autumn light. There's a bit of a breeze but it neither chills nor warms you. The trees are starting their change, autumn when every leaf becomes a potential flower. The crows aren't afraid of you anymore, almost seem to be encouraging you to linger and enjoy the twilight with them. I feel like I should be in the woods. Or walking through a pumpkin patch or a graveyard looking for something, or maybe someone. Work instead.

Beautiful words. Do you write?

[AlLeYkAt86- in reply to JEG325]

yes.

[JEG325 in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

Yay! So do I!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

I write poetry too. I love it.

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

I have a writers group made up of 6 people from this site. We are always looking for fellow writers and new material. We are working on a book of material written by the people of H/U. It also includes art, photos, mixed media & special styles of writing. We would welcome both of you as members or contributors. Would do you think?

[AlLeYkAt86- in reply to JEG325]

I don't think my material is probably up to par with your other contributors, I'd just embarrass myself.

[JEG325 in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

Nobody embarrasses themselves. It's not about how good you are, it's about as many different voices being heard as possible. Besides we provide quality editing without changing the meaning of what you write. All poems you submit are your property forever. But, there's no pressure here. There never is. Anyone who expresses themselves as good as you do must want to have their words heard and enjoyed by others too. there's no finer validation than others reading your material. I know I would enjoy it!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

Sure. How do I join?

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

Say you want to attend our weekly meetings at 7pm EST and I will add you to our list. By site rules I can only talk about this on my pm....

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

I have sent you a pm with more details...

[AlLeYkAt86- in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

I find it can help sometimes.

[JEG325 in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

Your beautiful post would make an excellent entry in our works. It's simple, elegant and paints a beautiful, wistful picture!

[GlassPoodle]

Yikes. even if this is just a reflection of how you feel today, I enjoyed reading it. You are talented with your words!

[AlLeYkAt86- in reply to GlassPoodle]

I'm glad it could bring some enjoyment, we all need it.

[GlassPoodle in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

I love writing as well. It’s enjoyable and I need to make more time for it!

[JEG325 in reply to GlassPoodle]

The above offer is open to you too, GP!

[JEG325 in reply to GlassPoodle]

She is!
