It is Tuesday and time to write a 'Slice of Life." Thank you Two Writing Teachers for creating this supportive community of teacher-writers!
it may not turn to gold,
but what she touches
invariably
sparkles
two-year-old Bird
arrives at our house
knowing exactly what
she wants to do
she runs to “her cabinet”
opens the door
empties the gold mine
shiny pebbles
bright sequins
polished gems
bright beads
smooth marbles
flash gleam glisten play
it’s all about the bling these days
one lustrous activity after another
gather them
mix them
stir them into a cake
find Poppa’s cars and trucks
how many gems fit inside
the hood the trunk the doors
find some bins
fill containers
stuff a purse
snap, zip, pop, close, open
pour them out, of course
Nana helps make a line
mold them into a shape
hide hold haul handle with care
how fun it is to fill a sink with water
add some bubbles
wash them up and towel dry
repeat as needed
over and over
and over again
a gem of a day
together
let it shine
