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 rattle of wind and patter of raindrops through leaves nudges apart morning-dark stillness, announcing the arrival of a momentary shower that is over almost as soon as it starts.

Clouds rest in hollows on a misty morning, while the sun shines a benediction of golden beams through boulevard tree branches onto dog walkers and parked cars.
