December greetings, poets and
storytellers! Yes, December. Can you believe it? My joints can feel it deeply, but… the
rest of me is still wondering what happened to November (and the rest of 2019).
Well, I have no idea where last month
went, but its last Friday was taken by Rosemary’s Moonlight Musings: Process and Product. If you’ve yet to read it, do go back and take a look-see. Next
week, for December’s first Midweek Motif, Sumana and Susan invite us to explore “Change”.
Speaking of change that affected (and continues to affect)
a lot of souls, 64 years ago (on December
1, 1955), Rosa Parks refused to sit on the back
of a bus—where Alabama law said she, and anyone with too much honey in their
skin, belonged. Rosa said enough! and changed the world. If you need a bit of
inspiration, let your words celebrate Rosa Parks.
It’s Sunday at Poets United, so the
pantry is open to both poetry and prose (stories, articles, essays… in 369
words or fewer). Your entry can be old or new, the writing
choice is yours. And the reading pleasure is all ours.

Feed the direct link to your entry to Mr. Linky. Delight in
the words of other poets and storytellers. And have the best of all days.
I apologise for not posting something new, Magaly, but I'm still struggling with my chest infection. I hope to be back to normal next week.
ReplyDeleteFor the Pantry, Kim, an older piece of writing is quite acceptable. I submitted something that is decades old!
DeleteKim, as Rosemary said, the Pantry does not discriminate against oldies. It actually likes them! Grins. I so hope you feel better soon. Chest infections are the worse.
DeleteHello Poets & Storytellers! It's been a while, and thought best to submit my last prose contribution for the year. It delights me to see that I'm not the only one with "change" in mind. Anyway, Happy Sunday! I'll be reading you. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! It's so good to see you here, Khaya. Can't wait to read your words yum. And I agree, Sumana and Susan's topic is quite timely.
DeleteThanks for hosting, Magaly – and also for reminding us of the heroic Rosa Parks.
ReplyDeleteYou are must welcome, gorgeous Rosemary.
DeleteI love the phrase "too much honey in the skin". I personally think honeyed skin more lovely than the white-pink i am stuck with. Smiles. Yay for Rosa Parks. Like young Greta, one small act like hers can spark a tidal wave of change.
ReplyDeleteBeauty loves to dress up in all sorts of colors and shapes, doesn't she?
DeleteAnd yes, great things--great changes included--begin with a tiny step.
Just dropped in and saw that today is open to both poetry and prose happy about this. A nice Sunday all i will link in my haiku post.
ReplyDeleteMuch🛍love
Yay Rosa, she is a goddess!!!👼🏽
ReplyDeleteMuch✏love
I came in with a bit of poetry today...
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHope everyone had a fine Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI edited and rewrote my poem between today's shows, so I could publish when I got home. Will catch up on reading tomorrow.
I hope your Sunday is lovely, too. Read you tomorrow!
DeleteThank you, Magaly, for writing this reminder, may we never forget. Love your illustration, she makes me feel young and happy.
ReplyDeleteTODAY I START MY SABATICAL TO END JANUARY 12, 2020 (love the ring of those numerals, my hope is to live that long).
Also, I may sneak out a dity or few when my Warden isn't looking.
Bye Bye, wish me a BON VOYAGE,
Jim
..
Have a blast, Jim!
Delete"That long" being through the year 2020. My dad lived to be 97 but he lived a cleaner life than I did. Internet predictors have me living until I'm 100, Mrs. Jim 99.
ReplyDelete..
May it be so – and may you do it in the best of health. (I'm aiming for the same.)
DeleteI second Rosemary's health wishes, Jim.
