solsc: waiting 16/31

Waiting
One more week until spring break
Spring weather is questionable

Sneak peeks of some bright glow in a blue sky
Quickly gray clouds move in
More rain slowly melts the piles of snow

Not ready to shed my layers
Still covering up every square inch of skin
Knowing soon those warmer temps will arrive

And then I will be happy to close my eyes
Turn my head up to the clear blue sky
Absorb the warmth of the sun

Breath in the fresh, spring air
But until then, I'll be
Waiting

    Wishing you some peaceful days of waiting. Ours is finally here and I am ever so grateful for it. :)

    Waiting, yes. Spring is here one day and gone the next - just a tease of things to come. Anticipation of those warm days and fresh air. I'm waiting with you. So hurry up spring (especially by Michelle) so we can have warm temps when we arrive.

    Your poem captured the length of our waiting....and also the reassurance of its arrival...whenever that may be, we are ready.

    I can almost feel the sun shining on me now when I read---
    "And then I will be happy to close my eyes
    Turn my head up to the clear blue sky
    Absorb the warmth of the sun"

    I am not wanting to shed my layers of clothes either---at least not until I shed some layers of fat I have gained over the winter.!

    I have discovered that spring weather is really my favorite season. I enjoyed your slice capturing the anticipation for spring. I just read Elsie's poem (http://lcinmo.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/just-for-a-day/) and it was a perfect one to pair with yours. Enjoy your spring break. Mine is also coming up after one more week of school.

    Two things to look forward -spring and break. I hope that you will have plenty of time to go out and let the sun shine on you.

    I am slightly jealous that you only have one week to wait, but I am hoping for even warmer weather when our break rolls around (the week of April 8th!).

    The anticipation is almost as wonderful as the time off (just keep telling yourself that for the next week anyway).

    We have spring break next week too, and like you, I am ready and waiting! When I walked the dog this afternoon, I saw crocuses! I think we won't have to wait much longer! Yippee!

    Waiting.
    Soon the coat will be off and you will be chasing your daughters threw sun beams.

    Next week! Maybe the weather won't be there, but the day will be! Nice to show the feelings of all of us, Michelle. I know I'm very ready to shed my coats and swathers. Have a terrific spring break!

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
