UPDATE: YUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have investigated, shared, and/or contributed to our family's Indiegogo campaign! As of Thursday afternoon, April 6th, we have 22 backers and have raised $1,125 towards our goal - 5%! Woot! That translates to $225 going toward the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the Union of Concerned Scientists organizations! Remember, you do not have to order a Tyrannosaurus Rump plushie in order to support this campaign. The "Back It" button allows you to make a donation to help us reach our goal without receiving a plushie. 20% of that donation goes to one of the above organizations.
And finally, join the Poetry Friday fun at Live Your Poem.
I love these poetry prompts, they're just the push I need to inspire me when I'm feeling burnt out and in need of an imagination refresher.
ReplyDeleteYes, this book has been invaluable as an imagination refresher! Thanks, Jane! =)
DeleteBridget, this is ADORABLE! And so true! My kids always get bored before the end of a break. And Janet & Sylvia: what marvels! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Irene! It is amazing how kid's can't wait to go on vacation and to get back to their routine. And, yes, J&S, are the bomb. =)
DeleteSpring break brings such anticipation, then winding down, the yearning for the regular. You wrote it just right, Bridget! Congrats on the progress of your campaign, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you on multiple levels, Linda! You are a gem. =)
DeleteI love that to-do list for spring break. Sounds like a great plan--and I love how you capture the changing perceptions through the week.
ReplyDeleteSometimes one must plan our relaxation time, but too much of a good thing gets boring. Thanks for stopping by, Kay! =)
DeleteI love all of the books by these incredible authors. I gave this one as a gift to my son's teacher. She was super excited to use it!
ReplyDeleteYay, I am glad these books are being utilized by teachers and students. So much inspiration for poets of any age and experience level. =)
DeleteGreat little poem, Bridget, in so few words.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat! Sometimes the fewer the words the better...especially when you are on vacation. =)
DeleteBridget -- You've given me strength to get through four more days until our break begins on Friday. Many thanks for the gas-tank-top-off! I recently discovered the Power Packs and am loving them. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it - just think of playing with the cat! Powerpacks are great when you need a little extra push and guidance to get you writing.
DeleteI love a poem where the reader immediately recognizes herself!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane! Sometimes we think we want one thing, when in fact it maybe something else (like the structure of school)
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteMy kids have three different spring breaks -- we're on our last one now. Not a ton of antsy-ness among this crowd, but maybe they needed a heaping helping of R&R!
Thank you, Tabatha! Wow, three different spring breaks can be a logistical nightmare, but at the same time nice for each to have 'their' week. Yeah, my youngest needed her R&R this year. =)
DeleteHa! I love your poem....and I'm off to show my HS sophomore. Her first goal on spring break is to sleep late too. Great idea and execution of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! Yes, sleeping late is an admirable goal - even on Saturdays! I love that you share PF poetry with your kids, I do too. =)
DeleteA list poem my kids could get behind, except the ready for school part. If only school started later in the day, then they could get behind it. Morning always starts too early in my house.
ReplyDeleteYes, Brenda, if only morning could start somewhere close to noon. I'd be on board with that. Hee-hee! =)
DeleteLOVE your to-do list poem! You are the master of brevity!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary Lee! Brevity is how I look for levity. Goodness knows we need levity. =)
DeleteThanks for making me smile! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Keri! Thank you for finding my poem humorous. I appreciate your kind words. =)
DeleteWhat a fun poem! I especially love "stay low key," which is my plan for the week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catherine! Yes, 'stay low key' is important to a successful break - enjoy! =)
DeleteI love " play with the cat" day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting, Kara! Depending on the cat, this may be a dangerous part of the Spring Break plan. =)
