Well, here I am again, entering my Saturday Centus on Wednesday. On call all weekend, then two drives to Atlanta for concerts. Enough excuses. As most of you know, Saturday Centus is one Jenny Matlock’s many ingenious writing exercises. If you aren’t familiar with it, please click on her Saturday Centus link above and learn how to become a participant. You will find a community of great - if somewhat disturbed - (and you know who you are [Tom] ) writers. Please read and comment on all the posts. You will find some fine writing and want to join in yourself! And be sure to check out Jenny's Blog, off on my tangent....
This week’s prompt from Jenny is:
"The early November sunshine cast golden rays..."
Here is my conribution. The prompt is in italics.
Early November at Small Stories and Stuff
The early November
sunshine cast golden rays
on the creek, shone amber,
glinted on the marsh grass.
Tide running low, dolphins
rolled their way back to sea
in the afternoon glow.
Great Blue Herons took flight
soaring to their roosting
trees across the expanse
of waving fingers of gold.
In flocks, Egrets joined in
winging their way home.
The sun shone its last sparks
of light, dropped beneath
the horizon, seeking
its own resting place.

St. Simons? This was simply beautiful CJ. Loved every line, but my favorite was the sun seeking it's own resting place. This was so wonderfully descriptive, I can smell the salt air and feel the breeze. Just lovely! Kat
I really like it, too, CJ. And my favorite line is the same as Kat's.
Great Centus...late or no!

You really are a word artist, CJ. I admire your work immensely.
