Connie's Corner

Connie's ~ Monday Muse

Every resolution must be followed by many decisions to continue. I read that somewhere and have found it to be very true.

My main inspiration for writing stems from a prompt so I guess my muse is the prompt, whatever that prompt may be. If I resolve to write something with the prompt as my inspiration, to get the words from my brain to my screen, I make many decisions to continue to fulfill that decision along the way.

So today's prompt, Monday Muse, has sort of flipped over the inspiration to my side of the table. I'm trying to think of things that have happened today, Monday, to inspire me.

Just now, outside my window
two feisty redbirds inspire me.

They chase away finches and
aggressively hop toward sparrows

They hog the green bird feeder.

The plump, round-bellied mama
pokes seed into Junior's open beak.

Then, she sits on the porch rail
wet feathers fluffed outward
after a dip in the bath, proudlike.

Mother's Day.

until next time....c
