Slice of Life Challenge #28 March 28, 2011I was up early this morning, & the sun, per usual was arising. It was so beautiful that I just grabbed the camera & took some photos. Here’s one of the good ones. Don’t we have a wonderful view from the back of our home? I had hoped to post this earlier, but several phone calls from friends kept me talking instead of writing.
More to get ready for poetry month:
Poems written upon awakening at dawn are called aubades.
dawn awakens hope
sun’s circle takes me into
good slices of life
Absolutely breathtaking - the photo and poem! And I learned something new: aubades.

What a stunning picture and view. I love how the fence stands out against the burst of colors. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing sunrise. Thank you for sharing the beautiful picture and poem with us.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view and beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for replying to my students' posts. They have been so diligent and engaged this month, and knowing that their writing has reached someone they don't even know has really rocked their world!
ReplyDeleteTracy, I really am enjoying their writing. Isn't it great that they have so many different things to say, & different voices, too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty view and poem! Thanks for your comment on my slice. I am starting a poem from the "title" at the end of my previous slice for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for a new poetry term! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a comment one of my 8th graders made today! We read a poem called "Lost" from Atwell's Lessons that Change Writers binder, about a boy getting lost in playing the piano. Then, I asked my students, "What do you get lost in?" One of them answered, "Sunsets." Your poetic tribute to the sunrise made me smile. I don't cease to be amazed at how many connections arise amongst the TWT Slice of Life Challenge community!
ReplyDeleteJust read your comment on my blog. I'm so loving your Colorado beauty. I'm up outside Nederland at my sister's home. When in Missouri, I teach fourth grade in Columbia. However, I grew up in Kansas City and taught in rural northwest Missouri schools. Do you have mid-Missouri relatives?
ReplyDeleteWow Linda, what a beautiful picture and a lovely poem. Aubades - I had never heard that word before. And what a wonderful thought that through ages of writing humans have shared the inspiring emotions of dawn. Your poem is so full of hopeful joy!
ReplyDeleteBravo, bravo, bravo!
ReplyDeleteWow. Beautiful. Great capture.
