FLOAT
Feels like less than gravity -
Lifting, I spin, lightly tilt -
Open like autumn-fringed twirlygigs,
Arms over the air, fingers out - tiny on
Tiptoes and finally free!
Another prompt from Illoannounce: This time, I wrote a poem using the word. I played around with both words that evoke the feeling of floating, and having the letters of the word "float" around the poem.
I also, at Carla's encouragement, attempted to illustrate it! Ha! Here's my virgin voyage into the world of illustration. Don't say I didn't warn you - it's pretty shabby - a stick figure! :) haha! But it WAS fun!
Yay - You turned on commments :) I'm loving your blog. Thanks for the Illustration Friday post. Your picture is better than mine would have been... I did check out that website - cool stuff to be found! Gratzie.
ReplyDeleteJulie! This is delightful! Your little figure has such a whimsical feeling of floating happiness, and the poem is a perfect match. I'm so happy you decided to do this...it's fun:>
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I linked to it on my website on the "Favorite Links" page. Here is the main page.

I meant to tell you, also, that you had nice use of color in your, um... drawing.
