April 13, 2021 - Poems

Poems! I wrote tons of these in January for Regina Bee. I'm going to try to write an introductory poem to Parker.

The steady hum of the machine
puts me at rest

The steady jingle of the bells
puts me at rest

I am at home 
in the workshop
the hums
the clanks
the rustling

The bubbling pot
of honey leaves hair dust
dip in
pull out
smell
perfect.

I am a seamstress
an enchantress
a frost girl

Hands swirling
powers whirling 
spiraling up to the sky

Snow falling
fabric draping
they are almost 
one in the same
they are almost
magic

🖤November 14, 2021 - Chalk🖤

 I remember mentioning that Lela's greatest fear is CHALK . Why? That's exactly what I'm about to explain: Lela is normally pretty tough. It takes a lot to rattle her. And she has never forgotten a dance. She executes all the moves flawlessly, remembers everything, and she's one of the best ballet dancers in the Town. She has forgotten her dance once, though. The was 9, and in the Sunny Smiles Dance Company Winter Performance. They were doing a special version Waltz of the Snowflakes scene from the Nutcracker, and Lela had been cast as a new addition to the scene, the Snow Queen. All the snowflakes fawned over her as they all danced around the stage. She was thrilled. Then came the night of the performance. She came out just a bit late, and didn't do her best performance. Her spins were wobbly, her arms bent when they weren't supposed to be, nothing was going right. And then it got worse. You see, SSDC had the brilliant idea of using chalk as snow, instead of pa...

May 13, 2021 - Rebus

 I made this really cool rebus. Try to figure it outon your own then you an check it using my explanation below: (🐋 -al +n )   (l+  🧊 c = f  ) (5 5 5   f = g) ( ♂ -bo   +ou)    ( 🍋+s) ,  (🎂c = m)   (🦵 -g +m/a + de) ! whoo! This one is tricky.  let's start with the first group/word;  🐋 -al +n whale - al = whe whe + n = when l+  🧊  c = f l + ice = lice lice (c = f) life 5 5 5 = fives fives (f = g) gives ♂ -bo   +ou boy - bo = y y + ou = you 🍋+s = lemons     🎂 = cake (c = m) make     🦵 -g +m/a + de leg - g = le m/a = m on a = moa le + mona + de = lemonade Translation: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Funny spin-offs: When life gives you lemons, keep them, because, hey - free lemons! When life gives you lemons, squirt someone in the eye. When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave the world wondering how you did it. When life hands you lemon...
