On our daily walk, again at North Dam Park, we paused, mesmerized by the waving common reeds of the wetlands below the dam. I haven’t been able to get close enough to see if these are native or invasive common reeds; both are found in our area.
And, of course, they inspired a poem.
wetland spell
common reed dances
#writeout
with the fairy breeze
of the setting sun,
mesmerizing under a spell
of autumn’s sweet song

This post is part of the October WRITEOUT adventure, October 13 through the 27th, partnership of the National Writing Project and the National Park Service — a chance to enjoy the outdoors with poetry, prose, and parks for Write Out 2024. Organized as a public invitation to get out and create, supported by a series of free online activities, Write Out invites educators, students, and families to explore national parks and other public spaces. The goal is to connect and learn through place-based writing and sharing. Check out this infographic for the flow of the this week and the Choice Board to get you started for WriteOut’s Poetry for the Planet.
