Hurry, Hurry

I'm in a hurry.
Life's all a swirl.
I feel like I'm
one busy girl.

So much to do.
So much to see.
I'm really glad
that I am me.


     This is light verse today.  My niece and her fiancée are visiting from Australia and I've promised to take them to the Air and Space Museum in Tucson Arizona.

     Your poetry prompt for today is to write a poem about air, space or firmament (isn't that a delightful word.)  Have fun.

   And be sure to come back tomorrow because I have a special Poetry Friday Roundup treat planned with poems from THE POETRY FRIDAY ANTHOLOGY FOR SCIENCE compiled  by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong, published by Pomelo Books.

I'm Busy

The spaces all around me
are filling up too tight.
Before I get my job done
suddenly it's night.

I know it is the season
of having too much to do
I will try to do my best
to do what I can do.

And if I don't make it
to get every task done
I will remember
 we all need some fun.

I promise not to cry or pout
I won't beat myself up
I'll just wish you, Merry Christmas,
and offer you a cup.
(Of hot cocoa.)


    Sorry to be so late today.  I've got some Christmas projects I'm working on and my deadlines are coming too fast.  I guess I should sleep less and work more.
    What are you busy with today?  Can you write your own "I'm Busy" poem? 

BUSY

I have a list
of things to do.
I don't have time to play.
I'm zipping here.
I'm dashing there.
It is a zoomer day.


    How is your day going?  Are you having a busy day?  The suggestion for this poem came from my friend Linda who is busy with end of the school year activities.  I invented a word for today's poem.  Can you find it?  The word is zoomer.  Part  of the reason I like being a poet is that I can make up words.  My friend, storyteller Willa Brigham and I were chatting about how busy we were and we came up with the word zoomer to describe a day when we were running around all day.  
   Do you have end of the school year activities? What are some of the things done at your school?  Can you write a poem about one of the things?  Do you get year books?  Do you write thank you notes to your teacher, the school janitor, the cooks in the lunch room?  Do you have books to take back to the library?  Oh, there is so much to write about.  Have fun making your poem.
