"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

Frost bound

NaPoWriMo Day Four

The last door left open
slams shut in a chilling breeze. 
Thermometer's not broken, 
but it has given up a few degrees. 
Nature's alarm bells have rung
to signal oncoming decay. 
No more the plantings are sprung -
they're gone, dormant, out of the way. 
The first crisp on the grass, 
just a dash of a much stronger brew - 
not soon will adversity pass,
just hold on - a warm fire must do.
