Equinox by Maria L. Berg 2024

Today is Haibun Monday at dVerse Poets Pub and Frank Tassone inspires us to write about the equinox using the Haibun form.

Equinox

The sun bursts through the clouds when I’m looking for shade. Sweat drips down my jawline when all I want is to wrap myself in my new comfy sweatshirt. Autumn fell so quickly, yet summer teases, not wanting to change out of her party dress. We await death that didn’t arrive in the night while a cottontail bounds across the yard. The lemon cucumber has ripened, but it is the last. Its plant has shriveled.

Equal weights teeter-
totter. No one’s feet
touch the ground.

It’s hard to believe that September is already almost over. October is a very busy and exciting month here at Experience Writing. I’ll be providing prompts for my three favorite daily challenges again this year: daily poetry prompts for OctPoWriMo, daily image prompts for Writober Flash Fiction Challenge, and daily word prompts for the Halloween Photography Challenge. This year all three challenges will be exploring universal fears. This year, I’m also going to provide weekly music and sewing challenges. There will be something for everyone. I hope you’ll join me.

  5. I too am ready to wrap myself in something warm and comfy, Maria, while the weather is still teeter-tottering. I love the thought of summer ‘not wanting to change out of her party dress’. The same thing has happened to my tomatoes as your lemon cucumber – I have fruit but the plant has shrivelled.
