Discoveries on my Walk

For Christmas, I bought two copies of Rip the Page! by Karen Benke, and gifted one to my awesome niece, Emma; the other is mine. I also gifted a commitment to Em: I'll work through the creative-writing exercises with her, and we'll share our words. Emma began with the list-of-lists prompt, which is a natural way to write a poem. She rocked her "How to Watch Soccer" poem. My creation is more subdued:

Discoveries on my Walk

Unbroken trails,

icicles,

bunnies racing from bushes,

snow-covered branches,

footprints,

light dancing on water,

children sledding,

birds nesting,

snowdrifts,

sunshine on my face,

numbness in my hands,

warmth in my heart.
