slicer parties are a must
bring your bag with fancy stuff
an analog party awaits
no electronics at the gate
poetry journal goes with me
how about a cup of tea
gel pens are my latest rage
different formats for every page
oh I am eager to meet some friends
sad to see the challenge end
thank you Leigh Anne for an invite
you make my preparation bright
this party is an annual treat
so join with me so we can meet

What to Bring
one analog bag will do
with many treats not a few
a decorated journal
for small, wispy kernals
I shall write to you, my love
even though you are above
shall I bring my newest books
to read alone in cozy nooks
and bring a floral bouquet
for our host on this last day

With every party there is an ending. Today marks the conclusion of the SOLSC 2026
Day 31, March 2026
12th year with Two Writing Teachers
Thank you, Two Writing Teachers, for the space you offer every year during March. It is always a pleasure to meet with reflective writers throughout the world.
Until I meet slicers on #SOL26 Tuesdays, I bid you goodbye.
Happy Spring Holidays to All
That's my idea of a fun party - - reading, plants, coffee, journal - - the ultimate writer's respite from the chaos of the world!
ReplyDeleteKim, I like this idea and wish it was a real Zoom event for all of us.
DeleteCarol, I really would like to come up with some kind of zoom writing/journaling/tea/coffee group. I think we should present this to the TWT board! Until then, keep on writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, chatting on Zoom would be a wonderful way of keeping in touch with our writing. Thanks for sharing this idea.
DeleteI love your rhyming analog activities! You are so right, "With every party there is an ending," but I hate to see this month of writing come to a close. I hope to check back in on Tuesdays. I've enjoyed reading and writing with you!
ReplyDeleteLori, we shall meet again on Tuesdays. Today starts National Poetry Month. I am glad that I can enjoy more writing with friends.
DeleteCarol, with everyone who responded to Leigh Anne’s invitation I see a party to end all parties. Snacks aplenty. Books to share. Writing of course. Hot beverages to relax. Games and puzzles to share. And friendship all around. Bob
ReplyDeleteBob, if only this party could be our reality show. Can you imagine how much fun we would have.
DeleteDiane (newtreemom)
ReplyDeleteI think everyone will enjoy this party! There are so many activities to choose from with the bags we packed.
Happy April, Diane. Today starts the Progressive Poem. I am joining in to see how the poem starts. My line comes during mid-April.
DeleteFun and good to be together.
ReplyDeleteIt is always wonderful to be together with our writing. I shall see you on Tuesdays, Lakshmi.
DeleteI've enjoyed peeking into everyone's analog bags, including yours. Sounds like a great time! Congrats on 31 days of slicing.
ReplyDeleteAlice, may we all meet again on Tuesdays. Enjoy springtime.
DeleteCarol, your whimsical and joyous poetic analog party is magical. I especially love that you will write to your love above. Just such a rhythmic and rhyming delight.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend. I had to start today with writing notes just to bring light and peace into my thoughts. Tomorrow marks the passing of my husband in 2025. I would like to take part in Ethical ELA so please let me know what to do. Have a wonderful day, Denise.
DeleteI love the rhythm of your poems and can't wait to share a cup of tea...and a 'few wispy kernels,' that might give me a writing idea or two.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie, for joining me. Let there be many more meetings with tea throughout this year.
