A creative life is filled with challenges and rewards, puzzles and curiosities. This ongoing series of poems attempts to express the “Aha’s” and “What ifs”, the deep ponderings and casual observations of an inquiring mind trying to make sense of reality. May it serve, for you, as a bit of “Everyday Inspiration” along your own creative path.
I look
for the last
fig.
for the last
fig.
The leaves
have yellowed
while I was away—
five days
and the seasons
have changed.
One last almost-ripe fruit
clings
to the branch—
firm
succulent
waiting for
the last warm day
to soften.
The birds
have found
the rest.
I knock them
to the ground.
One last bloom
on the Rudy Rose.
Summer resists leaving
and so do I.

I loved the whole episode. Am very inspired to try this after watching Beth do a little bit of it. Loved the quilt she gave to Ricky an Alex at the end of the show.
