Before the Start of the Show

Sunday, March 08, 2026

Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.

Welcome back. O/

Clocks jumped ahead one hour to remind us of the agreeable nature of Time.

Not that you always get along with what the time is, but that Time itself, how we measure it, is something we all agree upon.

The Sun rises and sets. Numbers are only a human convention so we can better discuss what the light means to us when we witness it.

Deep thoughts and dreams first thing in the morning. Sentences to wonder about. Wonder Fell.

Dawn. There's more Spring than Winter in this morning's sunlight.

Adjectives ride every ray: hopeful, encouraging, inspiring, nourishing... light alive for breakfast. Spring!

Mother Nature's grow-show is about to begin.

That's the feel of today's sunrise, anticipation in the theatre before the start of the show.

Snow drips to splash drops off every rooftop into gutters around the town.

How's the sound of your prose, Dear Writers?

Do you ever consider it?

The rhythm of each sentence is as important for a story's success as are your word choices.

When you read through your writing and something doesn't sound or feel right, that's the wrong note in a symphony. Get it in tune or get it gone.

Some helpful words to my prose and essay writing friends from your friendly neighborhood poet. O/

Lyricism matters at least as much to the voice in our heads as we read as it does to our ears.

My thoughts and work still focus on Colore.

Back to them.

Take care and make a wonderful day.
