In the Beginning – NaPoWriMo #24

Beginnings and endings can be tricky,

We mark beginnings in many ways,

A ball drop, a photograph, a toast

or an awkward introduction.

And there are all sorts of middles –

dramatic

disappointing

painful

suspenseful

incredible

satisfying

fulfilling

harrowing

crushing

or just… middling

With endings we often don’t know

when they are happening

a final goodbye or a last kiss,

Endings and beginnings can be tricky.

I started with the idea of palindromes, when I looked at today’s date, and that took me to the more general idea of beginnings and endings.
