Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
Heed this formula, tried and true. Beckon shorter daylight hours; match that with a cooling trend (tired of hot, humid, sunny days, are you not?). Sprinkle here and there generous rain events. And summon up a bit of errant wind. Well done, relax and enjoy the change.
Warning: this is no mere experiment. What it represents is a cyclical, natural event. And what results is, in a manner of speaking, miraculous. Blazing colours held aloft by previously chlorophyll-green leaf-laden trees; during night-time hours, hush: listen to the songbirds tweeting across the continent. Daytime, observe as furred forest creatures forage.
Enjoy the fragrance of ripening fruits, ready for the table, brilliant, misshapen gourds to decorate your door. Stop - right - there. And go no further. Reverse thrust and lengthen those daylight hours, recall the warm, sunny days, bring back those balmy breezes. What, your chemistry set has suddenly imploded?!
