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.
I love this. I can picture your rainy day! I love that you enjoy the rain – I do too… Thank you for this today
I love the format and the words are so vivid that I could see you there (and wish to be home in a storm myself). The ending is perfect – time alone is such a gift. I know you enjoyed it!
That poem is really good, ecspecially the ending!!!;)
