solsc: finally 7/31



March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!


it's not that i didn't know 
what to write or
i didn't notice a thread 
of a story to weave

it's just that my eyes
will not stay open
even enough to
get the letters out

my fingertips are 
heavy on my keyboard
prresssing mooore thaan
what i reallly neeeeed

this has just been a week
where every second was
consumed by a task that 
needed to be done now

yet i'm thankful it's
friday - a day of the
week we celebrate for
it finally brings closure

enjoy your friday
celebrate your writing
i look forward to 
reading more of your words

    I love it when your fingers mold the thoughts and words into poems. I hope that you get plenty of rest this weekend.

    Terrific. If I stay still long enough late in the night, my eyes become heavy, too, Michelle. Glad you finished your project. That is something to celebrate!
