Baby Steps

My first "official" step as a writer was to join Teachers Write! at Kate Messner's website.  I was a little late getting started, but our first assignment was to start a writer's notebook.  I have one and have started writing in it.  Now it is decision time.  How do I want to organize it...baby steps!

Tuesday's assignment was to think of a place you love and start with,

Sometimes, .....

Sometimes, I sit at the top of the mound

overlooking our small town

the sun

slowly closing

its droopy eyes on the day

but notefore reminding me

with its hues of red, yellow, and orange

that today was a great day

and not before night

restores and refreshes

my mind, body, and soul

ready to start again.
