On Howling Breath
This weariness in my breast - Autumn has
come on howling breath - Mortality con-
sumes - consigned to death - Patiently, ever
patiently, enduring this earthly test

I like the howling reference to autumn. Thank you for the entry, tailor STATELY! I am going to announce you the winner since the contest has been open for a while.
Congratulations!
(lol) Thank you ! Good to see you posting. Thank you for reading...and sorry my entry was forthcoming so late. The ideas have been simmering in bits and pieces for some time and burst forth with the news of yet another California fire that strikes too close to home in many ways.
Next Subject: A Rainy Day............. deadline 2-weeks from the first entry.

I long for the blueness of skies
Hot sunshine
A dazzle in my eyes.
I think of bright surf,
Bluebottles,
The smell of dry earth.
A zephyr through leaves
Sweet breath
Of a long summers eve
It's raining on my days
But it may clear up
The Met Office says.
Thank you prendrelemick for your wonderful entry !
Deadline is set for December 10th at the end of the day.

Hmm, I wonder what subject is relevant right now ?
In this bedeviled land we have forgotten The Christmas Spirit because of Brexit. So the next subject is.......
CHRISTMAS, of course.
Channeling "In a Gadda da Vida" by Iron Butterfly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh3uScnLq7w
La Mariposa de Hierro: En Dios es Vida Pura (The Iron Butterfly: In God is Pure Life)
In a manger in Bethlehem, a baby
Come to Earth out of love for me and you
In a manger in Bethlehem, Omni
Yea, He will always be true
Lo, won't you follow Him
He'll take your hand
Lo, won't you follow Him
Walk with the Son of Man
In a manger in Bethlehem, Omni
He's come to Earth with love for you and me
In a manger in Bethlehem, a baby
You know He can set us free
Lo, won't you follow Him
He'll take your hand
Lo, won't you follow Him
And walk with the Son of Man
Please take a stand
En Dios es vida pura
In God is pure life
Con Dios es la vida eterna
With God life is eternal

That could easily be a hymn.
Any one else ? (lol)

Our Thursday at Two poetry group was given the word 'resolution' for a writing prompt due today.
The contest is open, the subject is 'resolution' if any desire to join in.
My entry:
Resolution
At higher resolutions the James Webb telescope
is vastly superior to Hubble as scientists
seek looking into the past for answers
as ancient light manifests into images
Hubble blurs become celestial works of art
and time itself is revealed more vast -
snapshots of 13.5 billion years ago - just
hundreds of million years after the Big Bang
Traveling in the cold of space at one of five
Lagrange points far from Earth Webb gathers
infrared light on gold-plated beryllium
mirrors on its heat-shielded primary collector
I ponder these works of man; they seek our
God and His perfect creation whether they
know or not, and am mindful of Christ's
infinite atonement for worlds without end
