In honor of Women’s History Month, I have compiled a list of the female fronted or all female bands that I have seen in my life. It’s hard to reach back and remember every group, but I think I have a pretty good list. I can honestly say that every single one of these acts was great!
This is not a ranked list. Maybe I will do that next!
The prompt this week is based on this picture by Monet:
I always Had the impression That Monet Needs glasses. The blurs are not purposeful They are myopic.

How is a kiss so fleeting Yet so persistent? Long after lips have parted, and dried. The feeling lasts as an echo, bouncing back from a distant canyon wall, returning not to the face but to the mind.
I have to say that I am a fortunate person, and am usually happy doing whatever I’m doing in the moment. But if I had to choose something “I’d rather be” doing, certainly performing in front of an audience is high on the list. In this case, performing in front of a GIANT picture of myself!

I’m a big proponent of being in the moment. I often resist the urge to take a picture or a video so I can focus on appreciating what is in front of me.
But there are times when I feel the need to record the moment and share it. After taking in the scene above, I had to take out my camera. It was just too beautiful.
Besides having very high aspirations as a young writer, I also had an inflated belief in my abilities. I thought I was Creator level, with a capital C. Humility, and years, have brought me to understand that being a creator is a high enough calling, without believing I have to match the incomparable beauty that has been created and shared with all.
I was given two words that I can only use synonyms for. I wrote a cinquain to meet the syllable challenge.
Uncoil Buds spin open Tender verdant hue That deepens when emerald leaves Return
Thanks to Colleen M Chesebro. You can find the challenge, and the two words at www.wordcraftpoetry.com.
It would be fun if you made a guess at the two words and left a comment!
This entry still reflects a little bit of how I feel about my creative life. I tend to hesitate as I’m planning new ventures, even though I know they will help me evolve and promote my work. I’m learning to break through, but I haven’t yet achieved the feeling of excitement and passion as I look forward to do new things.
