It’s November, so it is time to begin Poem-a-Day again. As I was looking for inspiration for this first day’s poem, I saw some notes I had made for the work I am doing with Kore/Persephone, Demeter, and Hecate. I wanted to set the poem onto the page in a format similar to the way I take notes.

Poem-a-Day Rules for Myself:
1. I am free to write utter crap.
2. My intention is to post a poem every day in November, no matter how small, no matter how late in the day.
3. If I get one good poem out of the month, I will celebrate.

Gratitude List:
1. My parents are safe and well in their new apartment.
2. The way the light angles in during this season.
3. My incredible students–I love watching the seniors create and present their Local Legends and Lore presentations on our Halloween Trail every year. I had to miss it this year because of my parents’ move, but helping them prepare is always a highlight.
4. An extra hour of sleep tonight.
5. Rituals to mark the changing seasons (externally and internally)
May we walk in Beauty!
