Chapter 0 - Anticipating Springtime
I am waiting while the world is brittle, dry, and cold.
I am waiting while the year is born, when time is new-once-old.
I am watching the brown and yellow frost-spangled grass,
And the pale breath of morning air,
And Jack's white spirals on window-glass.
Only this much longer will the wind be so cold,
The trees bent and barren,
Flowers hidden in the mould.
I am waiting with my sisters for the young birds to sing,
And the first yellow jasmine's bud among the fragile green.
I am waiting while the year is born, when time is new-once-old.
I am watching the brown and yellow frost-spangled grass,
And the pale breath of morning air,
And Jack's white spirals on window-glass.
Only this much longer will the wind be so cold,
The trees bent and barren,
Flowers hidden in the mould.
I am waiting with my sisters for the young birds to sing,
And the first yellow jasmine's bud among the fragile green.

Oh, thanks for the comment! :) That was a lucky wrong click. The community can't become active if nobody activates it, yeah?
And yes, I do NAPO in April - although I haven't posted much of that here before. I could dig around for some of my old stuff, start a precedent?

wouldn't hurt. I haven't posted much literature here at all. mostly because I haven't had time. the chapter structure here will be wonderful for Napo, the whole month can be posted as one book. in fact, I could post previous years' napo as one book for each year, too.
I also don't bother to post literature here. not that I am writing much, but if there were more of an apparently active lit community I might. do you do Napo in April?
