Hither and Yon

I started true,
got quickly bored
missing my cue,
my mind unmoored.
In my downfall
my thoughts were all
willy-nilly.

Hey! My daughter Bee has an Etsy site for “Hand sewn decorative items” – RaccoonStitches! Please check it out!

I happened to see the weekly prompt “willy-nilly” at the “Moonwashed Musings”site and realized it was perfect line seven for a ha’sonnet, and this is what it inspired. If you go to the site I’m sure you will find a lot of wonderful takes on the prompt based on the few I’ve had time to read in my feed.

      1. 🙂 It’s good to see you back so soon in the neighborhood Charmer! After the last post on your site I figured you’d be taking more time away. I hope things are going well for you and you found other interests you can accept filling your time. 😁

    1. Thanks, Eugenia! I haven’t had the time to spend reading lately and just was fortunate to see this prompt. As I said, when I saw “willy-nilly” it popped as a perfect last line for one of my poems. 😄 Enjoy!
