WordsI sit here thinking about words or rather the assemblage of same and wonder why sometimes the impetus comes along on its own and other times its seems a forced matter. What exactly causes the words to come? I question whether we, as writers, are endowed with only a limited number of opportunities or whether there is an infinite universe of permutations available to us. I hope for the latter, which is a rather selfish way of looking at the problem but it would seem the only practicable one.Words
I am talking about an infinite number of variations like the philosophical argument that postulates a roomful of monkeys at an infinite numbe

The BirdsThe earth beneath my feet, along the forested trail on which I was walking crunched from the abundance of acorns dropped there from the overhanging arboreal canopy. These intermingled with dried fallen leaves from this season as well as many seasons past from the looks of the leaf-carpeted forest floor. My footfalls disrupted the muted ambiance of the hushed woodland: crunch, crunch, crunch.The Birds
Throughout the tops, dried red oak leaves still clung resolutely to the early autumnal branches. These combined with their still living brothers and the soft suppurations of a breeze to produce an ethereal sound like the rustle of wings. Inde
