Am I Write? # 47 – Find the Write Routine
When I am blocked, I’ll try any approach. Sometimes, the same approach as my physical fitness. Treating my creativity like an out-of-shape muscle. The more I worked on it, and fed it time, the more it would grow. Writing is muscle memory, now go flex your muscles. – Ash
From These Tulips
when flowers turn to me
I greet them with a smile
we sway together
if I’m lucky I get a dance
some are shy, but most adore the attention
they love it when I stop along the way
telling me secrets like they only bloom for me
and growing high toward the sky is a goal from the seed
they love rain…though, not too much

fields are nice when people run through them
trails are cozy when adventurers explore them
gardens are where they flourish
making your heart feel something is where they reach
so they say
when I stop
when flowers turn to me

A Shade of Ash # 48 – Ain’t Life a Burch
There are certain things I pass along the way that remind me of certain people, of certain places, and of certain times. All of which makes me smile both inside and out. Giving me those thoughts, feelings, and emotions once again. The photo above is why I love those very certainties of life. – Ash
