So much
swishing around
in my head…

 

Did I finish…?
When will I…?
I have to ….!
Oh no, I forgot…!

 

Too much
swirling and gushing around
inside my brain!
I want to turn it off
just for a moment.

 

Silence.
Breathe.
In.
Out.
In.
Out.

 

Now, what needs to get done?
First,
Next,
After that I will,

All of the swirls and gushes
fall into place
and I. Feel. Better.

It is Saturday
My brain is turned off today
This is my poem. 

Today I celebrate…
one month of daily writing practice
hearing students say, “I did it!”
new connections created
old friendships strengthened
the feeling of accomplishment

I celebrate…
starting over again with poetry
the beauty of words
the power of determination
being accompanied by writing friends
chasing my dreams
of calling myself
of being
a writer!

Sick Day

Today my post is about that moment when you feel it…

The scratch in your throat.
It tickles.
It hurts.
I cough.
Where did it come from?

The warm air
creates chaos.
Trees and birds are confused.
Nothing feels right.

December 15th.
4AM.
It’s SIXTY degrees outside.
Sigh…


Wishing I could be cheery and write about so many other things, but I’m congested. I’m coughing and have no voice. I’m tired and I have no time to be sick…yet, here I am. Sick day. Hope you guys have a good day! Please make GOOD choices! EARN lots of PAT time today!
