The bird that sings outside your window every morning, or the leaves rusting and crisping at the edges.

Positive prompt taken from Nikita Gill's foreword to the poetry collection The Wonder of Small Things: Poems of Peace & Renewal (edited by James Crews)

'What my grandmother gave to me that day was a sense of wonder that the world around us holds magic in what might be considered small and ordinary. The bird that sings outside your window every morning, or as Maggie Smith says in her gorgeous poem "First Fall," "the leaves rusting and crisping at the edges." All you need to do is see it through the enchanted lens that turns the everyday into the extraordinary.'
