Beguile for Writers Island

Posted on February 5, 2011 by https://vivinfrance.wordpress.com

Freewrite

What’s beguiling me now?
my cup of tea and another snuggly snooze under the duvet
the thought of my wandering family on the verge of wandering home after four months
the day ahead, preparing for …
theBurns party tomorrow
ideas for the next scrap quilt
new words to garner
removal of pleonasms from poems
landing on the Island for a feast of poetry reading
the wind in the willow seen from the warmth of my bed

What’s repelling me now?
the thought of getting up
clearing up after …
the Burns party tomorrow
panic

This freewrite may turn into a poem when I’ve stopped panicking,
For those new to my blog, the account of a previous Burns party can be found here: https://vivinfrance.wordpress.com/2011/01/21/of-haggis-and-other-delights/

    Breathe in, breathe out. And another few minutes under that duvet can’t hurt.

    I also love “snuggly snooze” a very
    nice way to describe taking a nap.

    Just keep telling yourself that the beguiling part is the one you should focus on! (I know, I know – easier said than done.) 🙂

    Had to go read about the Haggis party. Made me full and I haven’t even had breakfast. Sounds like lots of fun, though. Enjoy your party!

    ‘snuggly snooze’ – I love it.

    I like how the things that are important to you right now all come together.
