Yesterday, we had a gift of a storm. It was a gift in the middle of a busy week because they cancelled school. It’s so nice to have an unexpected day off. The storm caused minimal damage, a tree on a roof here or there, some flooding, but for the most part all was well. I did get to meet with my student writing group, though. We worked on writing by looking outside and looking in. Then we revised. I caught this rather sing songy poem, but I like it.
Spring Storm
Green on green
Here comes spring
Wildflowers welcome the rain
Steady beat
A rhythmic song
Leads my heart home
Light a candle
Load the laundry
Escape into a book
Spring storm,
You offer a promise–
the gift of time alone.
