I hope you were able to enjoy the sunny weather this weekend! Even though the rain is back, and it's Monday, it's still a great day because it's...
A Writing Kind of Day
It is raining today,
a writing kind of day.
Each word hits the page
like a drop in a puddle,
creating a tiny circle
of trembling feeling
that ripples out
and gathers strength
ringing toward the stars
Ralph Fletcher
This poem makes me aware of the power of words. They can start out small (like a drop in a puddle) but they gain power the more they ripple out into the world. Put some of your words out into the world. Write a poem! Send it to me and I'll post it here!
Cecelia from Fox Hill 5th grade - This poem reminds me of when I would throw rocks into the ocean at my Grandma and Grandpa's house in Salem and I would try to skip the rocks across the water.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Cecelia! What a lovely thought. I love skipping rocks, though I'm not very good at it!
