unpacking boxes
a packet of love letters
memories revealed
once upon a time
refrigerator poems
took away the chill
children's arts & crafts
in various media
motherhood recalled
passport to my youth
did I really look like that
before age set in

Memories
packing them for a trip
of no return
his love note
on the refrigerator
"i'll be late today"
But yours reminded me of William Carlos Williams ---This is Just to Say:
[I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold]
school children
in brown sweaters -
like sugar on a plum*
(*from "Brown Girl in the ring" song)
Age eight:
my eyes so big and wide
chin so thin
was just in a mood, Janet :))
Nice set, yours :)

William Carlos Williams!!! I have always liked that one. "they were so sweet and so cold"
When my kids were young, we had magnetic refrigerator poetry- a box of words that could be arranged endlessly. I found a page of some of our favorites transcribed by my young daughter. Across the top of the page in her little girl handwriting it said "A mother's love RULES!"
Thanks for sharing Devika :-)
thanks to you too, Janet :)
Mothering isn't an easy task; God spared me :)

not easy, but most rewarding:-)
Yes, thats my interest in children, the smaller ones...i have a kind of play school running during vacation...one to two hours, where we spent time reading/telling stories, poems...painting...its fun, and then you can mould them -- its rewarding, definitely :)
The older - i teach physics and maths -- just the subject, its like exam oriented help...even thats satisfying :)

If you can help teach children to love learning...that's as important as parenting.
Yes, loving to learn and learning to love are my focus....and they too love it....come running to me, and i feel God's blessings then, to say the least :)
wishes,
devika
