SOLSC: Lovin' This Small Town - 25/31

The Slice of Life Story Challenge 
is hosted by the Two Writing Teachers.

Lovin' This Small Town

Life is different in a small town.
Livin' miles out in the backcountry.
Lovin' the peace and quiet of nature.
Listenin' to the birds singin' in the sunshine.
Layin' back relaxin', breathin' in the fresh air.
Lookin' at the brilliant stars in the black sky at night.
Longin' to stay, just one more day.
Leavin' for the long journey home.
Loathin' big city life
Lackin' this small town feel.

    Love how you've captured this feeling--the language you chose and the repetitive nature of your text is so well done.
    Thanks for sharing this!

    Are you leaving your small town? I thought that's what your poem meant. If so, I'm sorry. Your poem shows such emotion; it's almost a song.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
