I read a lot of posts and left comments, trying to figure out how to mark this thirty-first day of my fourteenth year of slicing. I compiled the number of slices I've written on different topics, a favorite way to sum up my month of slicing in the past.
No matter how I try to summarize the month, a slice of our afternoon keeps slithering to the surface.
Grandma knits a scarf
Grandsons plant sugar snap peas
Daughter steps on snake!
I close this month with gratitude for our slicing community. I never considered myself a writer until I began slicing with my students in 2012. Thank you, Two Writing Teachers, for creating this challenge and providing the space and support for us year after year. And thanks to this magnificent community for sharing stories with me and encouraging my writing life.
It is always a great month. We joined this community around the same time. I'm also so grateful to everyone who commits and contributes. Your haiku is a wonderful capture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun haiku with lots of action! Encouraging is a great word to describe this community.
ReplyDeleteThat last line gave me a gasp! You did go from serene to scream in 17 syllables. Great month! :)
