I have a number of things open on my desk that are to inspire me to write. I took a cue out of my new book addition to my creative idea-generator, The Awe-Manac by Jill Badonsky. It was to write something about poetry.
If my life so far was a poem. I am not sure what it would be. I actually don’t remember much about poetry from school. The best memory I have recently is reading Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. I tried to remember different types of poems and all I could come up with was:
Sonnet–my life definitely to not a sonnet. I imagine a sonnet to be flowing and lovely, like Shakepeare or the Song of Solomon.
and
Haiku–what would my like be like as a haiku? I had to look up how to write a haiku. I learned that a haiku is not about events but moments. Most often they are written about nature and they have a particular 3 line structure.
Here’s my attempt, for my life so far:
Watch the clock. Time runs.
At the station which train now?
Jump one. Bliss awaits.
