WIP: Christmas Edition

Here is a poem I wrote for a class this past semester. The rough draft and the final draft.





Waterways, flowing through a cove
Lounging along
Paintings above me, lining the walls
Marks of those who came before
Flowing through a cove

Liquid lights move alongside me
Bubbles creep, I sweep past
Silently gliding, peaceful past
Flowing through a cove

Spacious caverns open above
Raindrops hardened, dangling from the ceiling
The knives of the ground reach to them,
Flowing through a cove

Brilliant day – the blinding light
Skies of azure, merge with cerulean waves
Into this I lazily arrive
Floating through a cave









FINAL DRAFT



Waterways flow through a cove
Lounge along.
Paintings above me line the walls
Marks of those who came before
Flowing through a cove

Liquid lights move alongside me
Bubbles creep, I sweep past
Silently gliding, peaceful past
Flowing through a cove

Spacious caverns open above
Raindrops harden, dangle from the ceiling
The knives of the ground reach to them,
Flowing through a cove

Brilliant day – the blinding light
Skies of azure, merge with cerulean waves
Into this, I lazily arrive

Floating through a cave

Book Nook: The Diva

The last book I read all the way through was over the Thanksgiving holiday. Ironically it was based around the holiday and actually took place over the day before, the day of, and the days after Thanksgiving. It was rather poetic.

Book: The Diva Runs Out of Thyme
Author: Krista Davis


The premise: what happens when your husband leaves you for a network diva, who then come to Thanksgiving dinner.

This novel includes recipes for all the delicious food in the novel, plus a few craft tips for decorating your home for autumn.


Sorry I don't have much tonight, it's been a long week - started a new job last week and the hours are a bit crazy.

Come back next week.

Have a Fantastic new year -

Last week I saw "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald". It was a great sequel to the previous film.

I was also able to see "Wreck it Ralph: Ralph Breaks the Internet" - another wonderful film to add to your watch list this year.

As the Christmas season comes upon us please remember that those in the stores you're visiting. Those behind the check out counters who are working long hours away from their families.

They are there to help you - please remember that often that means dealing with people who aren't always nice or kind. They are only doing their job, sometimes that means they don't have the answer you want. They will try their best but remember - only human.



This year I plan on staying in and having some time to relax away from anything that resembles a textbook.

What are some of your holiday traditions?
