Clinging

Darkness at midday.
Brave leaves, battered by wind and rain, not ready to let go.
No sunshine to reveal that the last leaves are rich with gold.

Like a late leaf, I cling to my 'BCW' novel.
The first week of NaNoWriMo left me battered, but I hold fast.
Today I glimpsed a break in the darkness.
I may yet find gold.

---------------------------
Now that I've made a serious start, don't expect to see a lot of me. 
I wish you a wonderful and productive November.
To those Down Under, happy spring!
