Beckoning Fairy Woods

Today is National Day on Writing, an encourage meant to share with the hashtag #whyiwrite why you write. I write to share the small moments of my life for a time when I’m no longer here, and family might ask, “What about?” to which my writings may help answer. I decided to share a haiku of my “why,” connecting it to today’s #writeout poetry, about the magic of that coyote willow.

Why I Write

I write now’s moments
to time when I’m gone, witness
to truths of wonder.

COYOTE WILLOW: THE WOODS

The Woods

Beckoning fairy woods
where fireside stories live
not towering cottonwoods
No- just a soft, mounded grove
Slim-trunked, slim-leaved
coyote willow;
Yellowing now in autumn
Dropping lower leaves
in openings of darkness,
doors of curiosity
enticing wanderers
to enter
to step into
the
magic

and disappear
