Appreciation

The phrase Moments in the Park was originally used to describe short prose poems inspired by observations on walks through Horton Park and other outdoor spaces. Throughout 2016, I crafted Moments in the Park as a daily practice. I have continued to write Moments in the Park, just not as frequently as that first year.
Here you will find the prose poems as well as expansions telling the story of the inspiration, reflecting on a related theme, or digging deeper into learning about the subject.
I also hope that you will be inspired to create your own Moments in the Park, in words, images, sound, or whatever medium suits you. If you would like to share your creations, I would be happy to post them!

A red pine reaches across the sidewalk to hide the face of a street lamp, playing peek-a-boo as the bough bounces in the wind.

Another layer of new snow smooths out lumps and ridges across the ground. The land resembles a shrink-wrapped boat dry docked at a marina, as though the whole city has been put into storage for the season.
