Oops

Okay, so as you can probably tell I have neglected this little corner of the internet. And my NaNoWriMo story for the time being.

Yeah.

I feel bad, but it was my boyfriend's 21st and on the Friday we went to a pub, Saturday we ate dinner with friends, Sunday was me attempting an essay and Monday was us eating pizza and visiting my mum.

So it's halted a little.

But all is not lost.

Once this essay is finished I can burn through the next few thousand words. (She says) Also, within the past month I've submitted a poem and a short story to competitions. Now I'm waiting to be told I haven't won. Anyway, for now, enjoy a poem about.... *fumbles* *scratches head*

Autumn

Orange leaves fall

and scatter themselves

across pavements.

We trod

and kick

and scatter them more.

The wind grows cold

it nips and bites

closes us into

ourselves.

Wrap up tight.

Grab a scarf.

Without a coat

you'll suffer.

Gloves are handy.

The sun

sinks lower

with passing speed.

Quicker

the moon rises

and the dark descends.

On starry nights

we look up and point

at the white glow 

that paints the sky.
