Poetry Friday & Photo Fridays Collide!
Sometimes I like to let Poetry Friday and Photo Fridays collide here. It pushes me to write about my photo in verse, rather than in prose. 🙂
CADDY
I had the same
pencil cup
for years.
It spun on a lazy susan
and contained
more than just pencils.
Pens,
highlighters,
sticky flags,
safety pins,
scissors,
bone folders,
stamps,
correction fluid,
and the ephemera
that makes up my life.
I got rid of the junk this morning
so that
I could finally have
a place
for just the writing implements
without all of that other
stuff.
This week head over to Wild Rose Reader for Poetry Friday. Also, click here to view and read the Photo Friday Submissions.

I am a literacy consultant who has spent the past dozen years working with teachers to improve the teaching of writing in their classrooms. While I work with teachers and students in grades K-6, I'm a former fourth and fifth-grade teacher so I have a passion for working with upper elementary students.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).

It’s nice to find your poetry friday colliding with PF and leave something behind. Great combination. Why not fuse it over at PF pool as well?

Sigh. A clean desk. I’m jealous…

Wow! I have a writing utensil basket on my desk like that! My husband always asks why there are so many utensils but nothing to write with! (most pencils are unsharpened, pens not working and of course the rest of the junk that falls into it!)
Your poem inspires me to clean it out! Thanks!

I envy your neat, organized desk! This would be a great prompt for “slow start” writing days.

Love this! Freeing up your writing implements is already producing good stuff…
