I have succeeded in my new year's goals as of yet. This week's letter is waiting to go in the mail tomorrow. There are four new documents in my 2013 folder for my daily writing prompts. I thought I'd share tonight's. Not the best poem I've ever written by any means, but why not share?
Look, Experience
Experience
Look around yourself
Dear friend
And experience
Because where you are now
May not be where you are forever
And while I may not take my own advice
I nonetheless find the concept important
One day when you leave the place you are
now
You will look back and wonder
And I hope that when you do
You will have the answers
So watch a children’s movie
With your sister in the bed beside you
Take the dog around the block again
Stay up late reading that book
Cook that chocolate cake
And eat the whole thing
Smile at your crush walking by
Laugh with your whole body
Pause to listen to your neighbor’s music
Ask the man at the counter how he’s been
Hear the story told by a five year old
Talk to your grandma twice as long
Take the long way to work
Help out a kid who can’t quite reading
Write a poem and share it with friends
Read the letter just received again
Because these little things
Turn into big things later
And these experiences are shaping you
Whether you realize it or not
So experience
Look around yourself
Dear friend
And experience
I have been thrown into the world of high school speech once again. So we've been working on group acting pieces and duets, revising informative and persuasive speeches, and creating visual aids. Mrs. Sayers, the speech coach, has dubbed me the visual aids queen. I need a crown. Or maybe I'll put it on the back of my t-shirt. I've had fun jumping back into speech things.
I don't have much more to write about, so that's it for me tonight. Sleep is fast approaching. I'm so exciting on my Friday night.
Until next time.
