Writing

I love a beautiful sentence, a nice piece of prose, a turn of phrase. Sometimes it only takes a word or two to hook people into a place, a time, an emotion. Such words are powerful and should be used with respect and deference. Some words are so freighted with association that they can only be used with extreme respect.

Sun on snow

Ice crystals reflect light

Winter

A phrase I used a long time ago in a poem I wrote, and one I've always loved was when I was talking about a summer storm in the city; a storm that comes and goes almost as fast. The phrase 'left-over lightening' speaks to the flashes of receding lightning bolts that remain long after the rain and wind has gone. 

Musings.
