SOLSC #5 Writing treasure





Why write? 
Oh, this is easy!

Writing is sharing.

Lose yourself in your thoughts.
Don't think about the outcome.
Just write.

Find your favorite color pen.  Or pencil.
Or many colors.
Any paper will do.
Or maybe you have a special notebook?
Just give into it.

Once you start, it is all-consuming.  
You can't put your pen down.
Lose yourself in your thoughts.

Make it from your heart.
Better yet, surprise someone with your writing.
Drop by before school, and
make someone's day.

This is what writing from the heart looks like at age three:


A little friend wrote me this note.
It is a real treasure.
Writing is sharing.

  4. LOVE the poem. It spoke to me and I think it serves as a wonderful writing invitation for young writers.

    Mind if we share it on our blog in April (for poetry month)? Please email me if that'd be okay.

    THANKS!
