The Turning



September is the month of spiders
honey that drowns the fly
twigs dropping life too early
books where the hero dies

Hi Jason,

I hope it's okay to put this message here... I don't have many of the emails I used to have.

I started a new blog. I need to be happy again. To write again. I hope you (and Aine!) can visit.

This was fantastic Jason, I mean, HOLY COW. The last line was amazing. Go on. Take a bow. You know you want to.

Erratic Thoughts, funny how the years are gearing up.

Karen, that too. :)

Petty Witter, thanks for adding some positive to the mix. =)

Anonymous, ah yes, more goodness!

Chris, very good to see you back! I hope you've been well, but it sounds like you may have had some rough patches.

Oddyoddyo13, you gave me a big smile. Thanks for that. :D

spiderlings fly to establish their new base, their new home.
apart from the haste and anxiety of the beginning of the school i like september.

awesome - the brevity of this packs a punch.

Ooooh, I love this so much, Jason! The last line, especially, swells my heart with pleasure. It's perfect... and the picture too!

Szelsofa, September has probably always been mixed for me. But I find its kindness lacking now. It's a time of reversals and breaking. Probably tied to the end of summer.

Joaquin, I feel like a short, rhyming poem can't be beat for impact.

Vesper, I could see the edge of this appealing to you. There's something very nice about venting it.

Well, maybe the hero stopped to eat those poisonous mushrooms caught so beautifully in a moment out of time (wow, awesome picture and poem!)
