Just the sound of the word essay is enough to bring back memories of the anxiety I always felt when I had to write one. I hesitated about joining this time around at the
Brenda Photo Challenge when I read that word. I thought long and hard about a subject and finally settled on one. Two days later, I changed my mind and came up with something different. I procrastinated, I thought some more. I changed the subject again. More procrastination and finally "YIKES" it's due.
So here it is.
I climbed the tree of happiness to catch the view.
I saw all the lings I love to do.
The crafts that give me such a thrill,
the paper, the glue, learning to quill.
My camera and flowers a beautiful sight
My program that helps them look just right
The grass, the birds the sun shining bright.
The joy I get from a West Highland White.
Great photo's!

Does the second verse have something to do with a man from Nantucket?
ReplyDeleteI had essay fear as well and changed my mind several times! I love how yours came together. We seems to both have very similar interest and both have lots of scissors!
ReplyDeleteAnd you found what you felt you had lost. I think it was put in the wrong drawer and you forgot where you put all the talent you have, even though it was there all the time. Very nice Ann.
ReplyDeleteThis was awesome. I can feel your heart in this..love it
ReplyDeleteAwesome Annie! too cool.
ReplyDeleteYou clever girl you. Sometimes I think the challenges we think are the hardest come out the best.
ReplyDeleteRYC: I like to linger over the view along the Charles when I visit Boston too.
Wow, you sure did a great job on that project Ann. The photos are terrific. I too love the picture of you with the camera. And all the other photos really fit in to the poem. Really well done. A big A +++ for you. Glad Duke was a part of it all.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful Labor Day week end.

fishhawk no but I did once meet a man from Nantucket, who walked around town with a bucket. And the rest i will leave to your imagination :)
janice I think I made this one harder than it had to be :) That collection of scissors grew quickly when my kids were living at home and kept using my fabric scissors for other things :)
