Hello everyone!
With my favourite holyday x 2 approaching (my son was born on Samhain, it’s as awesome as it gets.) I find myself being illuminated by inspiration, much like we leave the candles burning on our windowsills for the night so the dead can find their way.
I would like you to use this as an inspiration for the prompt this week. I know, its nothing pompous and genius like when Yvew hosts it 🙂
Write about the things that illuminate you, guide you home, which are often out of your control, your reach or are simply the way they are since you know of yourself. Write about those things that shine like they have never been touched a hand, yet they are so sacred.
Have fun, and I am looking forward to reading your entries!

It is a beautiful sight to see, as well, as opposed to all the scary stories one might and often does connect to Halloween.

wishing a good day to Samhain. I never seem to colour within the lines. Here’s a kind quirky response to your great prompt. No disrespect intended.

Lines are for faces, to make them smile. Umeasurable things don’t need them 😉

Oloriel – always be just who you are – thank you for your contribution.
Being born on a holiday (me) one doesn’t celebrate is well a tad odd I suppose.
But then I have always been a mischievous mischief rebel myself…
Salutations for those celebrating birthdays this month 🙂

[…] Once upon a time, I wrote a poem for a friend’s challenge, it was supposed to be a Kyrielle Sonnet, but though I wrote with the prescribed stanza and syllables (meter) and repeated the first two lines to create the refrain – I forgot to rhyme the poem. She kindly suggested we call it a Bastet Kyrielle … so here’s a Bastet Kyrielle with a twist, the last line of the first three stanzas are repeated. This is to honor Samhain (pronounced /ˈsɑːwɪn/ SAH-win or /ˈsaʊ.ɪn/ SOW-in[1] Irish pronunciation: [sˠaunʲ]) and the Welsh first day of winter Calan Gaeaf (pronunciation: sound link, which was this week’s Tale Weaver’s Prompt at Mindlovesmisery’s Menagerie […]
