Scattered thoughts

The semester is coming to an end, and I'm glad.  I have one final, but it shouldn't be too bad, then a break until the next term starts.  I've actually been trying to write some, although I haven't liked a lot of what I've written.  I'm tired a lot lately, which is probably a combination of the semester and the depression.  I wonder if I'll ever shake that completely.  Who knows.  Anyway, I did a couple more that are sort of okay, so here they are.  Feel free to comment, and I'll try to respond.

Hope for Half?

Chasing words across a page

  finding the ones that fit

The perfect one that suits the stage

  words of wisdom or words of wit?

That one kind of speaks for itself.  I always wonder what they're going to mean.  In that one, I stopped asking and just wrote it. The next one had a little more thought involved, although not THAT much.

Water in a Small Lake

The water in the small lake

   stays the same

It ices over, then comes back

   now and then sprouting ducks

Essentially unchanged

   under the surface

Presume fish, some algae

   weeds on the bank

A random flower

   never in the same place

The water doesn't change

   it's always

     water.

That should do it for now.  More to come.
