This is the first day of the April A-to-Z Blogfest, the day all participants are supposed to post on a subject beginning with the letter A.
It’s also the first of the month, so I have a new Hot Flash for you.
Aa-aa-and, it’s Sunday, so I have a bit of writing. We’re supposed to keep these ‘fest posts short, so I have a wee little poem today, and the title begins with the requisite letter:
A.M.
by Marian AllenLeaves flutter like wings
Of birds who
Swarm the trees
Like bees to honey.Warm and golden, light
Drips from everything.
Can yesterday have melted
Into this?
WRITING PROMPT: A character wakes to a day much better than the day before.

Cheers from M @ Feed Me A Stray Cat!
