wherever you are is somewhere sour or sweet/ a lemon heaven full of juice to squeeze reflections on writing and reading poetry in and out of the classroom
1. found! day 6

Yes, I finally found my way to Laura Shovan's new website and to her February Writing Workout...and I'm excited that the prompts for daily writing are all about found objects.  Better yet, we don't even have to find our own objects...photos are provided!

So I'm jumping in to follow along as well as I'm able, starting with the Day 6 found object(s) below.


A Doll Trap

secured behind glass
                half-dressed
                     or less
doubly exposed
               glazed
        they gaze out
 lean  reaching     toward
        freedom

one does more than yearn
       raises her
                     chubby arm
to crack that glass again
                            again
               dolly hai-ya

she will be
           free
       will walk  among
      walls and rock
        follow    plastic paths
                   to new clothes
  new scenes
