5. Challenged and Changed

 #66Challenge

 

These are a few poems representing some of what has been happening since September began. These short poems are written by jumping off a line from a poem I just read. The lines and poets are noted at the beginning of each poem

 

 

9.1.21 

danced up to the moon and stars and galaxies (Angle)

I need to remember to dance.

I'm truly NOT having enough fun with my students.

I'm letting tension seep in.

I'm not taking the right steps again.

Today I will wear my feather earrings and remember to keep it light.

Smile. 

Smile.

Smile.

(behind the mask! ;-)

 

9.2.21

break back into the world (Smith)

Yesterday

I had to be reminded 

to do what works.

Wasn't I the one who

wrote a poem about that?

Even had it published:

You know what to do...

Do what works.

You know what that is. 

 

9.4.21

Time and how are the mysterious

elements of any life

I will find my way home to you (Harjo)

 

Finding my way home

Over and over again

Aware it is never as easy

as it appears on the surface.

 

That's okay.

 

I am challenged.

        I am changed.
