Fall Gold


It's a new year, with new authors contributing beautiful thoughts and fantastic work to Write On.  Creative Writing students have been hard at work on writing articles in preparation for their time in the spotlight for a big newspaper; the fall season has also brought class members inspiration seen in daily journals, as well as poems. Sadly, this season always seems to go so fast!  Robert Frost said it best:

Nature's first green is gold,
her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
but only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay.

Nothing gold can stay....the leaves will turn and fall as winter marches steadily closer.  Do what you must to enjoy this October--open a window, carve a pumpkin, grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa, bundle up in a sweater and favorite scarf, find that special place to take in the beauty around you...and better yet, write!  Enjoy nature's hardest hue to hold.

-Ms. O
