While I lay in bed at exactly 3:38am restless and wide awake as I often do, I couldn’t help but to catch up on some of the blogs I follow and check out some of the other photoaday challengers out there. One may think after an hour of playing catch up in the middle of the night that I’d be ready to fall back to dreamland, but not this insomniac.
I can’t believe it’s the last day in May. June starts in less than 24 hours and once again, time is escaping me. I told myself that in my writing this month, whether here or in a personal journal, that I’d write a poem or song lyrics. It didn’t have to be the best piece of I’ve written or something too wordy, just something. It’s been far too long since I’ve reached in and connected with that side of myself. It’s a side that used to dominate me and now somehow with the hustle and bustle of my busy life, it’s trapped in a box somewhere waiting for me to unpack it, smile and bring it back to life. So as I lay here I realized, sh*t! I never wrote a poem or song lyrics. A writing goal fail. However, when I looked at my photoaday challenge I realized I didn’t miss a single day there and decided to get creative in a quick minute.
Here it goes. The Fat Mum Slim photo challenge today is “Four Things” and instead of taking a picture of four things, I came up with a quick tid bit poem. It’s not inspirational. It’s not blow your socks off by any means. But it’s a start at tapping back into my rhyming side. And seeing how this is a photo challenge; I used Textgram to create it.
OK. The birds are starting to rise and shine with their early morning chirping. Time to attempt a bit more shuteye!
