Hey there...

Hey there...

When you start

a conversation,

you don't know

where

it my take you.

I started a conversation.

It was work.

6 year old girl and I.

Maths.

She was brilliant.

I told her so.

She knowing numbers

and 

cleverly working out 

hundreds, tens and ones.

She grinned.

She knew she was clever.

I grinned back

proud of her work.

She smiled back.

Tears for me.

I had to finish the session.

Quickly.

No one can see all that emotion...

in a test score.

Hey there..

Today is day 3/100.

This has been a day of conversation, and a day where I have been telling as many people (colleagues) as I could that I am writing poetry. I have been asked if I was in fact writing poetry. I enjoyed being able to say "Yes, I have!"

Last night my hour included writing about possible themes. These include humanity, peace, death, grief and leaving a mark.

Today the conversations included, a roller-coaster as a metaphor for my life, the underworld, cross cultural experiences.

Back to writing soon.
