Sunshine peeks through my windows. Today's a writing day under the sun. I open my digital journal and consider the writing prompt provided by Jenna Korman from Two Writing Teachers: "What in your life is writable about today? Summertime surrounded bu beautiful gardens, layered sunrises, and tranquil sunsets always sets the mood for a dazzling day despite the heat.
I take out the drafts of poems suited to pair with the beautiful pictures shared by Margaret Simon, the host of This Photo Wants to be a Poem. Below you will find how lovely the summertime nature photos address the writing prompt provided by Jenna Korman.
Nature is filled with beauty that opens the sky each day.

Carol, your poems beautifully work with the pictures creating a serene feeling. They also remind us to slow down and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. I especially like the sun winking. It is like telling us, “Just wait and see all of the wonderful things I have to show you today.” Have a wonderful day. Bob
ReplyDeleteBob, I love how you look into a slice and find meaning. I think of you doing the same thing when you were teaching. I can imagine students must have enjoyed their days with you. I'm off to enjoying the sunshine, especially after the torrents of rain I was caught in yesterday.
