I saw this image on Facebook today as I was scrolling after a long last day of school. It reminded me of a poem I wrote during March SOLC. I love the beach and water so much and thought this was a great pairing of words, image and statement--
I AM.
Here is a revisit to the poem. You should write your own.
I Am
I am a list maker
I am a sun seeker
I am a sand lover
I am a spring waiter
I am a snow runner
I am a bird watcher
I am a kid hugger
I am a star wisher
I am a heart chaser
I am a story maker
I am a only I am
I am a sun seeker
I am a sand lover
I am a spring waiter
I am a snow runner
I am a bird watcher
I am a kid hugger
I am a star wisher
I am a heart chaser
I am a story maker
I am a only I am

Love the new blog reveal-great way to capture your poetry. I also like your I AM poem and will consider getting one into my writers notebook!
ReplyDeleteInspiration is bursting off the page! I am excited to see where this new space to capture and share your thoughts takes you. It is one of the best things about teaching, I think, that we get this time to renew ourselves. This blog is like a physical manifestation of that feeling...and it is contagious!
ReplyDeleteYour new space is beautiful Betsy, but not as wonderful as your poems. I enjoy reading your work and look forward to reading more in this new place. I am inspired to write an I Am poem now...good thing it's summer time! Write on!
