Meandering on Monday with Janet Lane Walters #MFRWauthor #BWL Publishing #Poem #Writing

Meander 1  Zombie Living

Marching, marching, row on row.
Painted faces, frozen smiles.
Listening to the drums of living
Being safe and being led
Zombie bodies that move in rhythm
Never breaking the treadmill patterns
Arms that swing in a self-same pattern
Back and forth and back and forth
Swelling voices chant a chorus
Dead dean voices expressionless.

Meander 2 Weather - I remember reading somewhere that this was to be a hot, dry summer. It has definitely been hot. Also wet. We just finished a four day stretch of rain. Yesterday, the sun shone and then clouded up and more rain appeared. Today the sky is blue in spots but there are clouds. Will it rain today? i hope not.

Meander 3 Writing. I am working hard to finish a book. Due before September first. Not sure I'll make it. This is the last time I'm going ot set a deadline. From now on, I'm going to wait until I'm almost finished with a book and then let the publisher know she can schedule it whenever. I like that plan.
