Visiting blogs, I always feel that everyone leads such interesting lives which totally reflect in their sites. Me? Not so much. I go to work, come home, usually work a little more (grading or planning), maybe stamp or craft, and go to bed. That's about it- sorry, not very interesting. I wish I had a more colorful life- maybe someday I will, but for now- this is the best it gets. Let's see... I did do the Happy Dance earlier because all but 1 of my Annual Reviews are done! That means I can have a life without paperwork, computer program glitches, and meetings! Yea!

Our school book club meets tomorrow to discuss the book Sarah's Keys and to assign the new book...The Middle Place. It will be interesting to hear people's impressions about Sarah's Keys. I will not spoil it if you have not read it, but informally I have heard mixed reviews. The Middle Place, on the other hand, I have heard nothing but excellent comments about ( I can not WAIT to read it!).

I am still participating in the One Single Impression weekly poetry prompts because I like to pretend I am creative (yes I do sound very Eeyorish tonight don't I?) and pretend is the operative word. This week's prompt is "movement." I stuck strictly to haiku poetry for this week; so here are my poems...

frenzied excitement
rhythms pulsate; can't sit still
music speaks to me
****************************************

movement of seasons
icicles frozen solid
starts with just one drip

relentless melting
magic metamorphosis~
watery puddles

*******************************
one tentative breath
moves us from life to death
I know; I have seen it

*********************

my inner rhythms
mercurial, on the move
part of who I am

grow, change, realize
evolving into myself
who I'm meant to be

************************
ebb and flow of waves
the primordial moon's pull
calls out to my soul
