We
all need to warm up before we sing, exercise or write! We will be sharing
ideas here to help you “work out” your writing muscles. Take a deep
cleansing breath and stretch! For more writing inspiration share your
stretches with us. We will be happy to post them.
Remember how nice it felt to squeeze Play Dough between
your
fingers and to make what ever came to mind?. . .
We should treat language
like Play Dough when we write. . . When we use our imaginations and
play with words, it’s exciting to see the shape. . . that emerges. ~Margriet Ruurs
SQUEEZE Play Dough and let your mind wander. WRITE a poem, a paragraph or a page. Your topic: Childhood is . . .
Post your "squeeze" in the comments.
Sailor’s Delight by Janie Reinart
Childhood is
Perched on a
Pink sky summer night
In a red maple tree
Reading
Feeling safe
As my Father
Walking by
Looks up
With a grin
Once more
So Strong
So Wise
Ready to protect me
