soLs: a wish


Slice of Life Stories hosted



A writing idea found on pinterest . . . 





i wish

i wish every weekend was three days of fun.
i wish for a constant bright shining sun.

i wish for a full moon every night.
i wish for the stars to shine ever-so bright.

i wish for a wish upon a shooting star.
i wish my parents didn't live so far.

i wish to watch over that one child.
i wish him to hold onto that smile.

i wish i could hold my babies forever --
i wish, but sometimes a wish will never . . . ever.

but i still wish.

    I love the rhythm of this, Michelle, moves so well with wistfulness really. And I love that stop at the end, a lovely pause "will never...ever".

    So pretty and such good wishes, and how true "will never...ever" and yet still we wish.

    Michelle,
    I wish I had your talent for writing! You are so blessed! You captured wishes in such a delicate way...
    Yes, we always wish-I especially love the part about holding our babies forever! So special!

    What a fun idea, and I especially loved that you had the graphic to go along with it. Creative Memories actually has a scrapbooking cover set with a dandelion on the front like that and the word wish. Now I will be thinking of your poem when I see it!

    I love the way you have written this in couplets with a repeating beginning to each line. I'm thinking there are probably other starters....
    I love
    I hope
    I remember
    I dream of
    I wonder

    Hmmm. Not really sure about that now, but interesting to play with it. Beautiful poem, Michelle.

    This made me a bit misty! "i wish to watch over that one child.
    i wish him to hold onto that smile." Amazing lines and I too hope that your "one child" can hold his smile, I am sure you are doing all you can to ensure it! Keep wishing! (Have you read, An Awesome Book? It is about dreaming big, just struck me and thought maybe there was a reason).

    I like the way you included the ordinary and the impossible, evoking both happy feelings and wistful longings... This could be powerful and revealing for student writers...Hope to try it some time.

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing. She shares how we can use research ...

soLs: a week

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Sometimes vacations are over in a blink, but other times vacations move slowly to enjoy every moment.  That's how this vacation is going - slowly, but with so much to enjoy. Of course, it is hard being away from home and the every-day-usual, but what I have truly enjoyed the most is the evenings.  After the girls are tucked in bed, it becomes my time to do what I choose to do because I have NO to-do list!  Nothing!  No cleaning, no laundry (thanks Mom!), no dinner (thanks Dad!), no dishes, no nothing.  Instead I have guilt-free time to read books, browse Twitter, catch up on blog reading, scrounge...

soLs: a (proud) little secret

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers Come here.   Come closer.   I have a secret to share with you.   I'm really excited about it and I haven't told anyone except my mom , my hubby, and my friend, colleague, and writing buddy . I receive notifications of comments on my blog on my email at school.  I think all of you will agree, it's always exciting to see that a new comment was left behind.  It never gets old.  Everyone loves a visitor, a voice that let's you know that you've been heard, and a comment that keeps you writing. I know I don't say it enough, but I really appreciate when YOU stop by and YOU leave a little note because YOU matter to me.   Most comments pour in on Tuesday as slicers are doing their very best to read and leave a supportive note that day.  A few comments tr...
