March Slices Create a Found Poem

Writing is a practice of the heart on a journey of self-discovery.

As William Wordsworth noted,

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” 

During this month of March, I have written alongside the Two Writing Teachers community of reflective writers, read a variety of slices of life, and responded to many slicers. I visited with friends from the past and chatted with new slicers during the 16th  Annual March SOLSC! #SOL23 Writing Challenge.

Indexing the SOLSC23! Journey

I have a quirky habit:

Very late night writing

While enjoying springtime

But I do ❤ slicing an idea like

Grandpa's birthday,

• Shangri-La: a state of mind, and
• March winds
• Going rogue
• Into the spring fog.
• You may ask, What's in vogue?
• A museum of happiness,
• Hetk, a moment in time  or
• Perhaps, a springtime pile of good things
• Where everybody counts.

Pack your bags and go

• To a slicer meet-up or
• Slicer party #SOL23.

Packing dilemma? Maybe, but

• Here are good thoughts for a wonderful Saturday.
• March slices create a found poem, and
• Pennsylvania welcomes tourists.

There are words to fall back on, such as

Internet bloops are annoying and

What Slicers Know!

While reading, enjoy a sweet treat

At It's Another Cookie Day slice.

Stay tuned=>

Beautiful change is coming

with springtime weather

and another National Poetry Month project.

  The above index poem catalogs my past month of almost daily slices for the Two Writing Teachers 2023 Annual March Slice of Life Story Challenge. You can read any of the above titles in italics March slices found at my website, Beyond LiteracyLink.
• What's Up Next?
• Since writing is a journey of the mind and heart, I will continue to write poetry throughout April, National Poetry Month. Each creation will focus on capturing the "humanity of the moment" as stated by photographer Robert Frank. My one word for 2023 is "BE" so join me in a poetic endeavor that combines poetry and photography.

Ending Thoughts_SOLSC 31

Once upon a time, there were:
31 days of writing,
31 slices of thoughts,
March Musings 2020,
Floating from my laptop
Out to the world of social media.

During March 2020, I experienced:

T ime well spent
H oning
I   nner thoughts 
R unning through my mind
T ugging at my
H eartstrings
Y earning to 

O pen 
N  ew portals
E  very day in April for National Poetry Month writing.

Today, I'm celebrating writing with my global community of slicer friends. Congratulations to all of us. We did it! We sliced, corresponded, commented, shared our writing. While the journey was tough during the trying times of COVID-19, we made it to the end!

Thank you to Two Writing Teachers for the opportunity to write daily this month.

Each year since March 2015, I have engaged in Two Writing Teacher's Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. Slicing allows me to ponder life, literacy, and learning, capturing small moments poetically through writing, photography, and digital art. Welcome to the Last Day of 31 days writing with Two Writing Teachers.
