Our twilight years should be filled with the memories our younger years built. Memories we can live our life out on...is that the truth?
Read the #poem "Twilight" by #SusanCarberry on the #MockingOwlRoost blog.
"It was a hard slog up that hill, yet the summit didn’t seem any nearer. I wanted to turn back but something drove me onwards and upwards towards a tree-lined ridge..."

Life is hard. Time gives perspective. So, when we stand on our proverbial clifftop, we gain enough perspective to let go and be free.
Please enjoy this poem “Clifton Revisited” by #susancarberry. It can be found in the MockingOwl Roost blog

(Pictured is a person sitting on a cliff top, looking at a yellow/orange sky, with a beautiful vista below. The title and byline are in black print on the background.)
Sunday night is the perfect time for fiction. Please enjoy #Epiphany by #SusanCarberry #mockingowlroost #blog #fiction #writer #writerscommunity

(Pictured is a bushel of peaches. The title and byline are in black print over the picture.)
She liked fruit, especially peaches, but this one unnerved her, the sinister-looking stem seemed to be searching her out. She stared back at the periscopic pedicle of the soft, rounded fruit expecting a salvo of gunfire, but with a distinct crack, the peach exploded in a messy, fleshy burst of light. Silence.
We start this chilly Friday with a lovely poem. Please enjoy #OutofWater by #Susancarberry #mockingowlroost #blog #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #poet
