My Fridays end in a writing session with a student I tutor in my home town. It is a treasured time of the week.
There is nothing better than writing with a student who has as much passion for poetry, punctuation, and words as I do.
Today, she was writing a Diamante poem for a poetry contest. There were four words provided for a potential topic.
I decided to write with her. One word caught my attention because I have been living it for the last year and a half at work--uncertainty.
We sat for about 10 minutes writing, and then, we shared our poems. We picked the same word, but we did very different things with the topic--another one of my favorite things.
Uncertainty
Frustrating, troublesome
Worrying, stressing, hoping
A constant uneasy state
Resigning, giving-up, relenting
Forceful, risky
Dilemma
What a perfect piece of Friday for me, which just got bigger with a surprise visit from my son.
Writing that isn't school writing - that sounds wonderful! Hopefully your uneasy Friday night state will be calmer now that your son is home! Aren't those the best surprises!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend a Friday afternoon- writing with a student who shares your passion. I too love to see the different writing that emerges from the same prompt. The feelings in your diamante resonate with me.
