Sometimes I
just don’t know
What to
write about
So I sit and
look around
And try to
get inspired
Finding
inspiration
In the
things around me
Can be as
easy as
Seeing my students
Looking out
the window at the weather
Remembering a
favorite quote
Reminiscing
about books
Smelling my
favorite Mr. Sketch markers
The remnants
of
My teacher
life
Scattered around
a classroom
Grasping for
inspiration
In the air
Can be as
difficult as
Trying to
pull a word out of my head
Dragging a
line out of the paper
Struggling to
hear a sound
Knowing that
it is
Just outside
of my reach
My fingers
grasp for it
My eyes
search for it
My brain
scrambles to
Compare,
contrast and
create an
idea
Exhaustedly
Dejectedly
I try
Over
and
Over
To find that
inspiration
Only to
realize
That I have
already found
What I was
seeking
I love that you found a slice and a poem in one...and I love Mr. Sketch markers!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Everyone involved in this challenge has that moment when we have no idea what to write about! A lot of my students have had those moments, too. I love that you made a poem out of it.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have had a few days like this during the Slicing month. I love the freedom to put the struggle on paper and then use some literary devices to make it sparkle. I love your line lengths and repetition.
ReplyDeleteI love that you didn't know what to write about but still wrote a poem about it!
