Day 2 of this new challenge dawns with a hint of Fall in the air here in Duluth, GA and I found myself with a little of Fall fever and just wanting to hang out of my front porch and drink tea.
I saw a meme last week on FB that said, "All the women inside of me are tired." I sure do relate to that right now. I am filled with such gratitude for the amazing life I lead and yet the times we live in are trying to my soul.
Grateful for poetry and the "To Do" on my ever growing list to stop and take a break and write some poetry and create at least once a day.
So here is today's offering:
Poems and Notes to You
I wrote them in rhyme
and snuck them into your locker.
A secret admirer
in high school
still so young and naive
in those days.
You were the class musician.
Writing our class song,
singing in a band.
My teenage heart was smitten.
I was so shy.
Red would overtake
my face in a whole
body flush if you even
looked my way.
So notes were written
poems composed.
Little ditties to express
appreciation and admiration.
I don't remember the actual
reveal.
I'm sure you thought the
admirer was one of the popular girls.
I remember it being awkward
and if someone could have died
from embarrassment I wouldn't
be here today.
One of the things InterPlay has taught me is about being present in the moment and using Improv in life. So fun to revisit that memory due to today's prompt. Thank goodness I survived adolescence and I grew up in a world without social media!
I hope you're having an awesome Tuesday.
In Peace & Play,
Christine
