As I mentioned in earlier posts, I've been in a bit of a slump lately, but happily, the downer streak seems to be coming to an end.
I joined a swap in my online ATC group. The theme of this swap was Found Poetry, where we are to take one page from a book, and cutting out appealing words, create random little poems.
Without previewing it, I plucked a page from a book I plan to alter and began snipping words and phrases that caught my attention.
When I begin to assemble them into poetic thoughts, I saw an age-old story, yet a familiar story: my story.
Maybe you see your story too.

I do not think you were in a slump. I think you were just shifting gears. That little space in between first and second gear was where you were. Now you are running smoothly along...
You've got to know that I absolutely LOVE these with the found poems! I'm going to have my poetry-writing students do some of these the next time I teach that course.
And now, I'm going to go back and actually look at the art work; I got so carried away with the words!
Top to bottom:
1. It looks like the sunrise of a new world for you!
2. I like how the light swide seems to be overtaking the dark side. And the little square...is it a mirror reflecting the new you?
3. She looks like she has found freedom!
4. It does make you feel like a little girl again to play!
These make me want to stand up and cheer!
Thank you, thank you both! Linda, I knew you would be excited about the poetry. As always, I love your piece by piece interpretation of my work. You see it so clearly!
Very creative and origional! What a fun idea. I love the butterfly and the purple and yellow. The colors are awesome.
Hi Lisa, I hope September is a better month for all of us!! I love these, and Linda's interpretation is just perfect!! Here's to a new month and brighter horizons!! XOXO
