Kaleidoscope of Color #PoetryFriday

It's Poetry Friday, and Sally is hosting the round-up and sharing some terse verse with us.  Check it out!

This week I wrote a poem using the 15 words or less picture prompt from Laura Purdie Salas. This image is from artwork found in an airport!

It reminded me a little of stained glass and a kaleidoscope.  Here is my rough draft.

SOLSC #27 - 15 Words or Less

Today I am trying a poem inspired from a picture in 15 words or less.  This idea comes from Laura Purdie Salas.  To read more about 15 words or less, visit her here.

Here is my attempt.  I am in Columbus Ohio for a training to start a Next Chapter Book Club.  Being gone away from my family and my classroom makes me think about all of my many paths that lead to other adventures but they always come from my life at home as a mother, a wife and a teacher.

The highway of life

many paths

reaching out

to new adventures

anchored from home

Thank you Laura for helping me with slice today!
