Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice"
to the Tuesday Slice of Life (SOL) community.

Thanks, Michelle, for hosting!
I responded to this month's ditty challenge from Jane Yolen for Tuesday's Slice of Life and for Poetry Friday with Michelle Heinrich Barnes.

"Write a poem in which reading and or writing is featured in the form of a septercet, a form I invented:
Each verse (as many verses as you want) needs to have three lines, each with seven syllables. It can be rhymed or not."
I quickly scanned my past six years of posts to find a post to write about from each year. I won't tell you how long it took me to winnow the words and capture a post in 21 syllables, but it was a fun challenge. You can click on the year if you'd prefer to read the wordier version.
Milestone reached - six hundred posts!
A writer born by blogging
This is where I found my tribe.
Journey launches five years ago
Enticed by Mother Reader's
48 Hour Book Challenge.
Sandra (former resident)
Touches red brick floor of porch
Where 4th grade self read and read.
It skipped a generation
but the sewing gene lives on
in daughter Sara who quilts.
I meander through raindrops
Stacey chooses to share my
Windshield wiper ponderings
Visit home from east coast kids
A poem stretches to capture
Each hug and happy moment.
As tomatoes flourish I
Inhale essence of summer
and Daddy walks beside me.
A celebration of slices!
My journey continues with
Encouraging writer friends.
