Katrina Morrison of Tulsa, Oklahoma is our host today for Day 20 of #VerseLove at http://www.ethicalela.com. She invites us to write poems about our favorite places to look and think as we write. You can read her full prompt here, along with the poems of others. I write in the early mornings in my comfy chair in the living room, but it’s not my favorite place to write – – my favorite place is in my camper in the wee hours of the morning, long before the sun rises, with dogs piled on both sides of me and in my lap (we call them our “dog chocks” because they lock us in just like tire chocks keep the camper from rolling away). Without the deadlines and chores of being at home, time to write is savored at a campsite.
The Max: Minimalistic Writing a Lagun table swings sideways, allowing me access to my seat in the Little Guy Max camper, my favorite space to look and think my back to the door windows cracked just a smidgen ushering fresh air hot coffee gurgling welcoming familiar words I had forgotten perspective sharpens moments come into focus small spaces do that a simple teardrop uncluttered necessities essentials only less is truly more dogs, Chromebook, gray throw blanket wrapping “4” writers strumming my fingers on the ridges of my cup words percolating ideas swirl like steam materializing just above the cup rim playing hide and seek Marco Polo swimming words ….slippery words, caught!
