Day Sixteen
on APRIL 16, 2022
Welcome to the second half of Na/GloPoWriMo 2022, everyone! This Easter weekend, I’m away from my computer, so again, off prompt today but you can find the lovely prompt (curtal sonnet) at the link above. Happy Writing, and if you celebrate Easter,
Happy Easter to you.
I sit where death can easily spot me, and When death comes I don’t want to look back lovelorn, empty, frightened -- oh, no! When death comes to take me I want to be led into eternity curious, ecstatic knowing the world I leave is better for the love I gave *** © 2022 selmamartin.com
Thanks for reading.
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.
