Poetry Challenge #27-Here Comes the Sun!
On my side of the planet, it’s full-on summertime!
But . . .
That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s sunny.
Nor does it mean, as the face on this little poopsie shows, that wherever you are —outside or inside—is summer or summery.
“Moods are like light bulbs, sometimes they just burn out—even LED.”
Truth is truth: We may not always be able to change the lightbulb. We may not be able to change the season. But sometimes, with a little luck and determination, we can change a mood. Let’s try!
Poetry Challenge #27
Here Comes the Sun!
Move to a brighter spot, somewhere you are either in the sun, or where you can witness the effects of sunshine.
Or, if it’s really gloomy wherever you are, turn on a bright light.
Don your sunglasses and shade hat, turn on some music. (A “Here comes the Sun” playlist is below.)
If that’s not enough, add sprinkles to your coffee and put on disco clothes—Get your sunny on!
There! Now you are ready!
First: Brainstorm a list of words that rhyme with sun.
Now: Using the words from your list, write a sunny poem entitled "Here Comes the Sun!"
Set the timer for 7 minutes.
Start writing!
Don’t think about it too much; just do it.
What do you know…It worked!
Okay, yes. There is a time lapse between the “Sad Bennett” and “Happy Bennett” photos…a year, a haircut, a cooler “swimming pool” and hose with the nozzle cocked and ready, but he’s sunny now!
