In Search Of (ISO)

Inspired by other slicers, I am using the titles of my March posts to create a poem, 

Looking for a pattern, 

A theme, 

A message, 

Here goes...

Once upon a time, 

Mother & Daughter and the race against time.

Birthday girl

"Find your calling" 

(A) Path

(Is) Patiently waiting.

Traveling ideas

(From) Casual conversations. 

Slowing down. (Listen) 

Measuring life.

(Practice) Gentle Yoga. 

Waiting. 

Refilled.

(Write) Artist's statement. 

(Cherish) Book(s) love

Spring ahead (be present)

March Madness

First day of Spring

Promises of Spring break

Cherry blossoms

Windswept hair

Bridesmaid dress

Friday nights

Sleepy slice

Puzzle (wonder)

Saying no (assert) 

Coconut cream pie ice cream (indulge)

Gender colors

Holiday clean up

Audience (family) 

Grateful for the opportunity to share my writing with a wider audience than just myself.  I have been inspired by the posts of others and will continue to write. 

Slowing down

What is it about heading to the beach? 

Your heart rate slows down.

Thoughts have an opportunity to percolate. 

Dreams resurface.

Grateful for beach days. 

Puzzle

I have...

Who has...

As I brainstorm ideas of how to use this learning structure in art class,

a puzzle perhaps.

Life is a puzzle 

I want, 

I need, 

Things I don't have. 

Yet, 

I have... 

Love,

Health, 

Shelter, 

And  

Ideas brewing.

I have it all. 

Sleepy Slice

I had a busy day today.  

Time got away from me again. 

As I start to fall asleep

I remember that I had not written my slice for the day. 

So I crawl out of bed, 

sleepy, 

eyes closed, 

and trying to type, 

a note to myself, 

to make time tomorrow. 

Holiday Clean Up

Sometimes time gets away from me.

Preparing for Easter dinner, 

clearing the dining room table

cluttered with schoolwork 

and the wine rack received as a gift at Christmas, 

I turn and see the Christmas cards hanging from the louvre doors. 

How did I not see these remnants, 

or more importantly, 

how did the time get away from me? 

Coconut Cream Pie Ice Cream

Let me first start off with the fact that I am not an ice cream person.  I would rather have a slice of pie than a bowl of ice cream.  

Today the last item on my list for Easter dinner was vanilla ice cream.  We are having almond cake and it was suggested that it would be nice to have ice cream with it.  As I was looking for vanilla ice cream, I spotted a container of coconut creme pie ice cream.  It took me less than 5 seconds to decide that I needed to have it.

As I sit on my porch writing and eating my ice cream, I reflect on how life is about the little things that bring joy. 

Waiting

Waiting on the porch for my crew to arrive. 

Dinner is in the oven.

What a wonderful end 

To a beautiful day.

Everyone sitting at the kitchen table. 

Love.
