chance conversation
Winslow ~ John or Edward
joined at the roots
one tree stayed put
the other went Westward Ho
.
Note:
On Thanksgiving many years ago
I joked about not our grandfather’s
Thanksgiving in Plimoth to a nursing
home resident who was proud of her
roots going back to the Mayflower.
A co-worker said, which one when she
heard me say Winslow… and it seems
our many times great grandfathers were
brothers…Edward and John.

CSP prompt: Sing
My response to the prompt:
mocking bird
sings each summer morning
new song each day
greets day in someone’s tune
loud and clear
…..
note:
as I have a hearing loss it is difficult
for me to identify many of the sounds of
nature. One day I mentioned that there
was “an annoying” bird that woke me each
morning… and I was told that a mockingbird
settled in the lilac bushes beside my bedroom
windows each day. Since then, I have learned
to enjoy being greeted with song each summer
morning
