1.  Affirmation.  Yes, you can.  Yes, you are.
2.  Watching a thousand crows stream across the sky at dusk through the sunset on my way home from work.  (My apologies to anyone who is upset by the Park City Crows.)  They were absolutely amazing to watch.
3.  Blue eggs
4.  Impending snow
5.  Ruby and Carnelian giddiness

Namaste.

I hope to get back to a more regular poetry rhythm in the new year, as soon as the November chapbook is completely edited and submitted for contest/s.
