What I Read in 2022
Talking about what I read in 2022 and whether or not I achieved my 2022 reading goals. As a part of my new year's resolutions, I set a goal to read 6 books in 2022.

Living Snow Globe
First in tiny flecks, then like tufts of cotton. Drifting, floating, dancing down. The world slows, becomes quiet and muffled. The dark tree branches the only contrast on a grey sky, creating a soft silhouette. So peaceful, tranquil.

Late Summer Special Magic
This is a poem I wrote in the last two weeks, it isn't entirely right, but I couldn't help but share it anyway. Spring and summer turn to late summer. The bright and pale yellow light becomes a deep golden colour and reaches out across once green lawns. The grass now is somewhat straw-like and … Continue reading Late Summer Special Magic
