Work & Play

We’re in the middle of a pumpkin contest at work. Each department had to come up with their own decorative pumpkin. This is a photo of the two that were completed on Thursday, September 27, 2018. The others were completed on Friday. I forgot to snap a pic of them.

a contest launched–
who will have the best pumpkin?
we toil over an inanimate object
claiming it will win top prize
while having fun
too

A Gift

trE
Sneeze inducer. Haha.

Exhausted each day
After education of a
Different kind
Learning the ropes while
Pulling them close to me
I am breaking into a
New life, Circe on a deserted island

Hopeful
Encouraged
And determined
This gift of newness
Sprinkles itself all over
A seeking body–vengeful by default
Freeing me of worry
And despair, turning me loose into the wild

Where I Am From

I am from old Historian words
a gripping sea/rivers pouring fish
the new land’s tide covering
baby’s breath

I am from a massive family
eldest of seven, little hands
grabbing hold of big sister legs
the depth of heartbeats
matching my own

I am from a wide coastline
saltwater Sundays and men
making merry
the company they keep

An exercise in telling where you’re from without actually saying where you’re from. George Ella Lyon does it/did it best. This was a writing exercise presented to us during my first day of orientation at my new job this past Monday, June 18, 2018. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
