It has been a wonderful month, gone by so quickly. Thank you Tara, Anna, Dana, Stacey, Betsy and Beth and all the bloggers who have contributed to Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life Challenge 2014. I hope many will keep slicing weekly–look for you tomorrow. Enjoy the month’s final slices here.
Yeah WE did it! Number 31 of 31! Right here. I say we because without the community this wouldn’t be. The comments were so wonderful. I wanted to explore the comments, and see what I might find.
Found poems take existing texts and refashion them, reorder them, and present them as poems. The literary equivalent of a collage, found poetry is often made from newspaper articles, street signs, graffiti, speeches, letters, or even other poems.

experience challenge
find inspiration
share gratitude
virtual me enjoyed
your thinking
the power of the small
just listening
“check I relate”
resonate
not judge
nudge
conversation critical!
so many “what ifs”
real work, naturally, like everything else
magic memory
leap of faith jump and participate
uncomfortable territory
the process is paramount
The pains of growing
the comfort of knowing
someone will “listen”
trust
incredibly strong
discipline and team.
What a treasure
Confidants
comrades
words hushed
tender lasting memory
we would not likely ever forget
a lump in my throat
thoughts and actions mingled and changed
