(scroll quickly, vertically, to catch the brain wave working)…….
just finding two matching shoes to wear
or not spraying the walls with the
Water Pik, …..and Cranberry
Orange breakfast scones with
piping loose leaf tea
awakenings
are hallmarks
of bright
starts
plus
Wordle
Connections
Spelling Bee for
a brain-charged challenge
keeping synapses sharp
– these are my routine morning things
right here in rural middle Georgia
and writing friends across the nation
who inspire me to do new things:
like humbleswede, whose camper
postcards will now be mailed
and Glenda Funk, who
inspires me to
travel the
world with
new
eyes
(and to
hug my old
rescued Schnoodles),
Margaret Simon
whose baby ducks on jump
day always bring a teared smile,
and Denise Krebs, whose Mojave
desert hikes are calling my name now…
Fran Haley, my birdwatching sister
one state north in a same-named town,
wordancerblog’s March food fest
keeps tempting my tastebuds,
Sally Donnelly’s
city sights and
book talks make
me want
to
read
on a
sunny park
bench, Barb Edler
whose slam poetry
competitions inspire
me to buy tickets to a
poetry event on a stage
in Atlanta this coming April
and so many more fellow writers
whose blog are a source of daily
inspiration this month, all
awaken my brain, inspire
me to get out and live
to try new things I
wouldn’t have done
without a
friendly
nudge




Thanks for sharing your creatively written nonets with snippets from other writers’ slices.

Ahh, I love this poem and that I’ve inspired you to attend a poetry event. I did not compete this year at the slam, but now that I’m soon to retire, I think I will try to write more spoken word poetry. I’ve never heard of the Septuple Nonet, but I love writing Nonets and Etherees. Thanks for sharing your beautiful poetry with us today. I feel inspired!

I love this acknowledgment poem to all the Slicers waking up this morning to begin the March daily routine. We have a duck, Kim! She is laying daily now. I’ll post about her soon.

Kim, Those Schnoodles are the best dogs, aren’t they. I’m glad we can journey toward one another in these virtual spaces and find inspiration and care in our online communities. Now, pet a pup or three.

Kim, this is a great poem and I love that you mentioned so many of our wonderful fellow slicers. It is so true…this group motivates and inspires. I love it! Had to laugh at the picture you posted. I recently discovered Mel Robbins and blew through this book, which our daughter gave my hubby for his birthday. He’s still not read it, but I loved “Let Them” and have recommended it to many. Enjoy!

Wow, Kim, I loved scrolling through your carefully-counted septuple nonet. You are a creative through and through. You may be the first one in history to make a brain wave poem like this. I loved reading all the inspiration you are getting from others. I love how your fellow writers can ” inspire / me to get out and live / to try new things” Me too!

Whoa – the brainwaves really do work with the fast scroll, and furthermore: Awaking to a septuple nonet?? Girl! Your brain is not only fine, it’s on FIRE! Unreal!! I have to tell you two things. 1) I do Wordle, Connections, and the crossword (but not the bee) every single day, too, for the very same reason: “to keep synapses sharp.” A most proactive plan. And 2) Finding the list of names and mine included as your birdwatching sister in our same-named north and south Z towns… well, it brought tears of gratitude. You, meadow nymph, green glass beads in your hand, are ever the enchanting guide to rally us all as we jaunt down the writerly path together. Goblins are no match for us! Thank you for the magic you share, and the magic you spark.

That is wonderful. I must try writing a nonet. And that tea looks so refreshing.
