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
Betsy - I love this poem - I, too, am a bird watcher and sun seeker. I'm excited to see and hear the birds outside today. I think spring will be here soon!
I like this list poem. I think I'll try that out ... and you might just have given me the inspiration for what type of poems I'll write for April. Thanks!
I always love seeing poetry since it is a less-comfortable genre for me. It is always inspiring to see the possibilities and to receive inspiration through other slicers. It was also fun to catch quick glimpses into your identity.
I love this poem. It is such a simple format but really powerful to share who you are. I can see this type of list poem being quite a fun thing to do with middle schoolers. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yes, you are all of those things and so many more wonderful things too. I enjoyed this poem and might just try it out myself! Thanks for sharing a little slice of yourself today, my sun seeking friend.
Enjoyed your list of telling us who you are. I did something similar today also. It's fun getting to know more about our fellow slicers. We finally found the sun today - hope it continues to shine.
Ooooh, I agree with Linda, yes, a picture book! Oh my, wouldn't this be fun to use with kids. I'm stealing your idea Betsy. By the way, my favorite as "star wisher."

ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful person, a story maker and a poet.
ReplyDeleteI will join you in seeking the sun and watching the birds, however we can not do these things at the beach. Not a big sand lover.

ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful piece --- thank you for sharing this with us! This might inspire me to try a poem some time this month....I'll keep you posted!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like this, on Dr. Seuss' birthday, could be a wonderful picture book-love that last line!
