I didn’t have space to work with these prompts “live” so I’ve been coming back to them to jumpstart my writing sessions each week. Today brought me to this one which provided me with an excuse to go sit on my back porch (I live in Florida) something I’ve been trying to do more of lately. Soaking in the sunlight led to this:

Full sun

in big tilted rectangles across the tile

muted by tinted windows

but unfettered by the window screens

revealing the stem through the Pothos leaf

highlighting the variation in color

warm light despite chilly air

like the Earth is sitting in a camp chair

next to the Sun’s roaring fire

Even the cotton-ball clouds can’t dim it for long

not this life-giving light

shining strong

as the green things rustle their thanks
