For OctPoWriMo Day 16 the Prompt is Catch Me When I Fall. Also, thanks to Sonya of Only 100 Words for hosting #3LineTales.
“Today’s prompt is Catch Me When I Fall. Finding that person who will support you at every turn is such an important part of any relationship. Also significant is what happens after the fall. How would you describe the balance between giving support and receiving it?”

Lakeland country, artistic installation — imposition,
Swimming past carvings,
Totem poles, spirits guiding home.
*****
Murky fog, crippling cat feet,
Lurking towards us;
We’re invincible, we hold on.
*****
We don’t crash and implode,
We douse flames;
Together we’ve might times ten.

Welcome to officially Autumn/Fall, maybe Winter or Spring? Here, in Alberta, we never know. Yesterday was November blizzardy, today is a warm fall day from say, in late-September. And next week, we are up in the double-digits (Celsius), which is more early September weather, not late-October.
So, in this weather battle we either freeze as yesterday, or are boiling hot. There’s no in-between and the thermostat’s confused. But, I’m told its an El Nino year so we should have a warm winter for the rest of season (burst out laughing).
Otherwise, I’m still doing a bit of freelance writing and proofreading. I’m looking to eventually have time to work on a final draft of my novel to submit it. I went to a writers conference for in August and had a successful pitch, and I would love to submit it to that agent/publisher. But currently, writing/editing time for my novel is a dream as I spend much time starting up my Steeped Tea business and getting into a routine. Also, I am looking for a great apartment in a certain of the city near to my friends and family.
I never thought after my health problems that this could be a possibility. I need something small right now, and I’m hoping to pick up more freelance work that pays decent, even if its administration, and to support myself as securely as possible until I can work more hours, and buy a place with money from my disability settlement, last year. I’m shocked to be at this place in my life, to have some kind of independence. I know it will be harder than home and more expensive for sure, but I’m still excited. Almost, as if I’m 23-years old again.
So, that’s life lately, and I hope you guys enjoy my October quotes. The first set is a bit late in coming.

For OctPoWriMo Day 7, the Prompt is unsent letters. I suppose this could be an unsent letter to myself.
I’m also combining with MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie’s Sunday Writing Prompt based on a collage and quote.
“Courage Does Not Always Roar, Sometimes Courage is the Quiet Voice at the End of the Day Saying I will try again tomorrow.” — Mary Anne Radmacher
Courage is a voice that defies dread nights,
Beats obstacles with endurance, not might.
It’s the tears that drip down cheeks in tissues,
To be tossed, as a calm relief finds lift.
Courage is wisdom, despite naysayers;
Those disbelievers those jaded players.
Courage whispers, keep on going, you’ll thrive.
So past cracked wood and rusty nails I jump;
No matter, with each step forward fear thumps.
My mind scatters as the bumps grow louder;
But, I must keep walking, fears gasped aloud,
For I can’t be afraid I must cartwheel;
Beyond worries circling thoughts as I bleed.
I’m not scared; I know what I must do and not —
Slay Grendel, those demons eschewed, that rot.
Courage whispers, keep on going, you’ll thrive.
It’s a talent, knowing when to back down,
When angels morph into monsters to drown.
It’s not their whole, but apart of them lost;
Yet, the battle-lines are drawn — so I cross.
Past lush greenery, sunlight blazing high,
Into newness, uncertainties despised.
Courage whispers, keep on going, you’ll thrive.

Hey, back from Vegas and I’m excited for summer festivals such as Shakespeare in the Park, The Street Performers, A Taste if Edmonton, K-days, and a few others. Summer is such a fun time.
When you’re buried in snow from November to the beginning of May, patio weather, summer festivities, and vacations help many of us through those rough cold times. Especially, if one can’t take a winter vacation. Anyways, whatever you season, enjoy it!

Today’s November Notes song is “All the Pretty Girls” by Kaleo. I’m combining the song prompt with WhimsyGizmo of #dVerse Poet’s Pub Quadrille prompt on kick and MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie SaturdayMix Prompt on using synonyms for these words: odd, fight, start, weak, tired.
“All the Pretty Girls” – Kaleo
You sail in the sky,
Float back to earth.
I’m meek, waning,
Waiting for you —
To let me in.
Strength has vanished,
Battle inside aches.
I’m kicking passed eternities,
In strangeness.
Pretty girls fall,
Without fuel to recharge.
Please lay me down,
Lay with me tonight.

Happy November! Where did the time go? Fall is flying by! Hope everything is going well with everyone and that wherever you are the weather is nice, not the beginning of a cold winter!

They say that,
Real heros have capes, tights;
Uniforms and Bat lights.
They shoot webs,
Like spiders but from,
Their palms.
Flying and leaping,
Over tall buildings.
Their technology is —
Top of the line.
They’re stoic, tough,
Bantering,
Male bonding and showmanship.
Strong shields guard,
Robatic armour too.
Glowing hearts of uranium,
And flying suits.
Hands pulsing lasors.
With green hoods,
Piercing arrows.
Strength that’s incalculable.
They’re ages old,
Hundreds or Thousands.
There human or from,
Other dimensions, worlds.
Becoming angry,
Mean and green.
Are blinded but powerful.
Yet few will notice,
Female superheroes,
Their tough outer layers.
They’ve a solid insistence,
For the good of mankind.
They sacrifice as a —
Black Widow or a mutant,
Causing storms.
The Mockingbird or a Scarlet Witch.
The Wolverine’s friend, Rogue.
Women know,
How being gentle,
Is as mighty as Thor’s hammer.
How sensitivity with honed,
Physical skills,
Has an authentic glory.
Not understanding,
Why men keep warring.
Even though —
They know they must.
So, they do too,
Wonder Womans and —
Super girls,
Their skirts shorter.
Slipping into —
Dark corners,
To hide their tears;
Heroic tears
As in a man’s world —
Most men don’t recognize,
The first Wonder Woman,
In their life,
Gave birth to them.
Nurtured them,
Their superpowers hidden,
To be the best —
Moms.
