...no see. Regrettably, I have neglected my writing for some time now. Sometimes I just can't find time for my kids AND me. I am making a better effort at it though. I was actually just checking in here to see when my last post was, and indeed, it has been a longer expanse of time than I thought. So, I actually have no new writing prepared, so I'm going to try a little experiment here. A challenge for myself. That is, in about ten seconds, I'm just going to write the first things/words/ideas that come to my head, and I'm not going to allow myself to go back and correct anything. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so that's a problem for my brain. Here goes: (I bet it won't be a long one! Ha ha).
a determined child is one who,
despite the clear objections of the butterfly,
will pursue, and pursue, and pursue
the poor creature, until her
chubby fingers are allowed one
swift graze of the wing or back,
whereupon the butterfly disappears
like wildfire, and the child's
squeals fill my backyard.

Okay.....not bad. I see some things I would add, change, correct.....but not tons. I have to stick to my promise, so here I go. Post!
I always tell my students they shouldn't be afraid to share their writing.....so I decided to stop being a hypocrite. Here is my poetry...
