I just want to say yes somewhere, I want
since we must begin to watch this again:
seeing my problem through lit windows
and your proof where we're made
without our own consent
like the worst bargain

Note: I liked writing and reading these couplets in columns, rows, and just mixing it up even diagonally. Somehow it seems to work as long as it ends up where we're born without our consent!
Pics: Last year this calendar lived on my desk at work and brought me joy all year long. Each jar-shaped month was topped by a cheery sprig of flowers and as I shuffled the cards in the bamboo holder from month to month, the composition of the bouquet changed over the year. I was sad about having to throw it out. But I didn't have to throw it out. I cut off the calendar part of the cards and now it lives on as an arrangement of flowers. Perhaps I could add a small picture of Scout to it.

I love that flower calendar! What a great idea to keep it.
I love "through lit windows" - there is something magical about that!
Cute
This poem would make a great activity for students:
Print it out
Cut into separate lines
Have students create poems and title them
Read aloud; discuss for meaning
Again, I wish I were teaching to be able to do this!
Clever repurposing, both of lines of poetry and cardboard flowers.
That is such a clever calendar - good call to repurpose it and cut off the calendar part!
I also like the "seeing my problems through lit windows" line.
Thank you, friends!! <3
That's such a cool idea, Nance. I don't teach poetry, or I'd be asking if I could borrow that idea...
