Today's Prompt & Bonus Inspiration

OCHRE
 

Ochre and Blue
BY CHASE TWITCHELL

Waking to ochre birch leaves
sinking in the blue undersea of dawn,

I swim in the same currents,
needing nothing.

Later I’ll forget this,
and mourn the end of autumn.

What’s left to be said
about being human?

Happy creating!
