My friend, Julie, challenged me to a six-word story. I started with September.
It was fun thinking up more. I may keep these a while...and see if I can knit them together into something.
Thanks to Penny Parker Klostermann, poet and author of There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight for hosting this week's Poetry Friday fun.
A Year in Six Words
September planted student rows, June’s hopeful harvest.
October pumpkins glow, orange Halloween smiles.
November leaves applaud bringing down the house.
December's spoon swirls spices, secrets and snow.
January, A bed made with hospital corners.
February makes lacy homemade valentines…..be mine?
March: A lion dressed in lamb's clothing.
April a peek-a-boo between rain clouds and sunshine.

June’s moon a wedding bell in tune.
July’s stratospheric sparklers red, white and blue.
August a ripe moon, gold and sweet.

Hi Linda. I like your year. I noticed December has five words. Is one hiding under the tree? LOL
ReplyDeleteOoh, I especially like the September one. June's hopeful harvest seems a long way off, but teaching is nothing if not sowing hope for the future. Happy school year!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. Here are my six words about my fave.
ReplyDeleteI love the s's in December.
Moving through the year in six words, wow! You've shown some important parts! I like "planted student rows"!
ReplyDeleteOh, SUCH a fun exercise! I love "planted student rows"
ReplyDeleteLovely poem! I especially like cold January (a bed made with hospital corners)- so severe, and warm May (a picnic basket full of birdsong)- so relaxed and sweet. Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! Love April's "peek-a-boo between clouds and sunshine". =)
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun challenge--I think May's picnic basket full of birdsong is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLovelovelove September's row's and the hope for a great June harvest!
ReplyDeleteAck. ROWS not ROW'S!!
DeleteWhat a great exercise for discovering the essence of what certain words mean to us. December is my favorite. Thanks, Linda— will definitely try it out!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun project, Linda. Have fun knitting your words together!
