SOS Magic: The Kind of Writer Who…

February 17, 2022 by margaretsmn

This post is an invitation to write from Sharing our Stories Magic.

I’m the kind of writer who…

plays in the sandbox of words,

invites others in,

builds a sand castle masterpiece,

doesn’t fear ocean waves,

is willing to build it again.

This poem is a keeper, Margaret. I love your, what I think, is an extended metaphor. Oh, “sandbox of words”, “is willing to build it again.” Perfect. I think you should put this with a photo and make a poster for your classroom.

No truer words…you ARE this writer.
And I see stars.

Testimony to the creative power found by the oceanside – SO much metaphor! And so true – the sandbox of words, making masterpieces, willing to begin again and rebuild. Love this, Margaret.

So well said. Strong metaphor. I like that the sandbox of words has room for many players and castles.

What a strong metaphor to inspire a writer!

Sunday in Mississippi, meeting old friends in the parking lot, magnolias in bloom, and a heron at sunrise. Finding beauty and joy in the midst of hard decisions about Mom’s care.
