12 wonderful articles to mull over.

  • Quilt show!
  • Now go to South Africa for a quilt festival. Be sure to watch the video, although it may give you vertigo. She runs through the whole exhibition hall and films hundreds of quilts in a few minutes. My eyes (and her camera) don’t focus that fast, and maddeningly, she doesn’t linger at some of the quilts I most want to get a good look at.
  • What will your legacy be?
  • Excellent destinations for a writer’s vacation. (Be sure to check out the suggestions in the comments as well.)
  • Why you should write short stories.
  • Amazing amateur photography.
  • Autumn foliage.
  • Why writers read.
  • These signs had me laughing out loud.
  • An unsolved mystery from 120 years ago.
  • Celebrating World Ballet Day.
  • The value of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. I’ve been meaning to read it.

OctPoWriMo Day 27

Today’s prompt is magic/magical, but I’m going with mystic/mystery.

Form: Terzanelle

 help me see the mystery
  
 far more exists than what I can see
 reality hidden by a veil
 for what exists is more than I see
  
 I wander along a rocky trail
 how do I reveal the truth I sense
 reality hidden by a veil
  
 wandering a path from ages hence
 how do I live the truth I reveal
 how do I reveal the truth I sense
  
 how do I live up to the ideal
 I long to discover my true soul
 how do I live the truth I reveal
  
 how long until I am truly whole
 and use my power as intended
 I long to discover my true soul
  
 my life so far has been pretended
 far more exists than what I can see
 I use my power as intended
 for what exists is more than I see

Mysterious Acrostic

I’m submitting this as my final OctPoWriMo poem, and also as my offering for today’s Daily Post prompt:

Castle of Mystery

Mysterious walls and towers,
You isolate your inhabitants with your moat
Shielding them from the evil without.
Turrets teem with archers
Ever ready to shower demon attackers with flaming arrows.
Residing within your ramparts are brave warriors,
Inspired poets, devoted clerics,
Obeying the mandate of your monarch to
Uphold the kingdom, glorify God, and
Shelter the remnant of the people forever.
