About this Event
A few years ago
I was given a seed—
at first, a passing thought,
then growing into
a small dream.
What could this mean?
Will it continue to grow?
I started with the soil
and began to sow.
And after some time,
a seedling emerged.
I watered and tended
and buds of ideas
appeared.
Ideas blossomed
into the loveliest of flowers.
And with a little more toil,
some fruit was harvested.
So I used the oranges
and made some marmalade.
And invited others to join
in the feast of creativity.
Words came to life
in the glow of harvest moon.
And now, dear reader,
I can share them
with you…
