#AtoZChallenge2015: Family
One of the pleasures of the A to Z is, for me, to dive again in Raymond Williams' Keywords, a source of inspiration and learning. The simplest words reveal their history, the meanings given to them in the past, by people like us, our older neighbours, perhaps our ancestors.

Daily Prompt: Third From the Top
Head to “Blogs I Follow” in the Reader. Scroll down to the third post in the list. Take the third sentence in the post, and work it into your own. Quoting from: http://farawayinthesunshine.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/april-showers/ I picked up this third down the top, a lovely blog, a charming photo, I hope it also brings a smile to your heart

when the moon sucks the wood…

and chiff-chaffs stick
their nosey points towards
grey bony threads of
sickle-clouds
remember me
when all is sifted and I a
graft
a slump and spendage
around the shoulders
of stalwart better things
