abecedarian of wonderments always keep you heart open because you are bound to be blessed by baseball sunsets coffee and companionship dogs always dogs and deliciously yellow daffodils entendiendo en español fellowship and friends flair pens too grandbabies even if they aren t exactly blood hamburgers with crispy french fries and calories removed ice cream preferably soft serve chocolate and vanilla twist just a few extra minutes of sleep kindnesses from kindergartners laughter that lasts long memories of moments nice neighbors and new friends ocean all things ocean pools puppy kisses and peaceful days quietness of early mornings with time in the word read aloud and the rhythm of rain sunshine dancing across shiny wood floors tulips turning the world red and yellow and pink until they

friday night end of year teacher tired at 9 30 i still do not have a poem sigh a haiku will have to do friday night tired chinese takeout walk couch book half chapter read zzzzzzz posted by carol at 9 53 pm 6 comments thursday april 28 2022 national poetry month 2022 poem 28 lesson tonight a golden shovel lesson this has been a year of so much everything has spun and turned sideways and upside down has dimmed and faded and lost its color and it has been hard to find wonders or seeds of wonders or to even find a flashlight or candle to light the darkness mostly there has been black and black and black and silence and silence and empty silence and i have searched this frozen wasteland for small wonders and i have scratched fingers raw in seedless gardens i am trying to lean in and to learn to yield to accept maybe even to love whatever might come from his strange and lonely state i suspect there are lessons to be learned in this emptiness and i know that even though they feel much larger then i may think i am prepared to handle it will be well if i only yield and lean in perhaps therein lies life s biggest truth simply to trust that all will eventually be well if we seek nothing but to be content carol wilcox 2022 posted by carol at 10 24 pm 3 comments wednesday april 27 2022 national poetry month 2022 poem 27 so much goodness so much goodness i watch her persevere arduously spelling word after word after word long after five year old peers have left the floor and moved on she pauses at the scissor box digs for a minute then turns to show me her treasure i choose red she says because that s my sister s favorite color and i love my sister later i watch again most children are at centers some manipulate magnetic letters others build puzzles some color she does not go to centers instead she cuts inch sized squares for a phonics activity she trims edges precisely her scissors move slowly finally teacher announces recess will you please cut the last three while i glue she begs i just want to play outside for a little while today i am bent over yet another endless phonics worksheet helping one of my little guys copy sixteen three syllable words i feel a head resting on my back and i peek out of the corner of my eye i just love you she says i just love you and i wonder what i ever did to deserve so much goodness c carol wilcox 2022 posted by carol at 9 44 pm 3
