What was November like?

Written 2022-11-30

It has been quite a strange month. The change in clime was quicker and more intermittent than usual. Living away from home is never easy but with all that is and has been happening it is a bit more challenging.

Where we currently sojourn there is a rather belated typhoon season and with that the autumn colours have also burst out and the cold has come and gone.

Perhaps winter will be colder and perhaps there will be more snow than usual. But all the unseasonality is not very consoling nor assuring. Perhaps this has also reflected in the writings of this month.

There is also that silence in the writing and sharing process that one begins to get used to with online publishing. People have not reached out as much as they did in the past. And rather than ruminating on the possible causes for that writing and commenting shall continue for however long that will flourish.

But November is over and done with. A new month begins in the morning and there is tomorrow to look forward to.

for November

Written 2022-11-02

It is the beginning of another month and it marks the wind down for this calendar year, 2022. At least it does for me. I am wondering at this juncture where the conversation and dialogue has gone here at the Bay.

On other sites there is much more chatter around and about the posts. It also has come to my attention that in the early days of the Bay a whole lot of younger folk made this their go to for poetry.

And with the changing of Seasons they gradually moved on with their lives and this type of poetry interaction eclipsed. Then came the era of silver haired wisdom and then lockdowns and restrictions.

There is also a lethargy these days, that of communication and interaction. Perhaps it shall again change. Because the days are shorter and the nights getting longer, and activity from the southern hemisphere is not what it used to be (it's Spring there at this writing).

For now I shall continue to write, post, and respond to other poems and hope for the best.
