I tried something different using the words slice/slicing and the featured word on Mary Lee Hahn’s site (desire). Let’s see if this poem resonates with other readers. http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2015/04/slicing-poem.html

I’m pretty much a year round slicer. And so grateful for the support of this community. A beautiful, beautiful prayer shawl arrived on my porch last night from Margaret Simon.
I didn’t write about that, though, because I’m doing April Poetry Month with Mary Lee Hahn. Her theme for the month is PO-EMotions. We are on day #14. Today is desire.

Last week was spring break, but I’m back slicing today…

I’m not going to go back and count, but I’m pretty sure I had more than 40!

Today’s slice is about the start of testing in NYS today..I’m sure that our students, like the daffodils that are so late this year, will each bloom in their own time….not all will bloom today!

Took my daughter to an early matinee today and realized change!
Yes, I am a year-long slicer.
Today’s slice is about my break last week and the unplanned lesson that I was taught from being in nature, noticing the small things, and seeking counsel from the trees. Powerful quotes on the trail signs inspired me to seek the deeper meaning of the words. Quotes, words, images, and a video: https://meanderingmaya.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/a-break-in-nature/
I’d like to go back now. Nature is the ultimate classroom.
