10 x 10 Meme

A while back, Crafty Green Poet tagged me
to do a 10 x 10 meme. The task is to write
10 verses about yourself and then tag
10 other bloggers to do their own. I
apologize that it took me this long to
get mine done. But here it is, and it
was fun to do -- thanks Crafty! This
was about a day I had not too long
ago:



To find the words or time
to say what's on my mind,
I have to step inside
my hermit's lair and hide.

My hermitage is bright --
no dark and gloomy room.
I want to see the sky
and watch golden hawks fly.

With notebook and green pen,
I doodle to invite
ideas onto page,
expressing joy or rage.

Sometimes my stomach growls --
creating is hard work!
So off to the kitchen
for an English muffin.

Brushing crumbs from my face
I return to my spot,
on the floor, back to wall,
and let distractions fall.

I write a few more lines,
reliving memories
of summer vacations,
childhood elation.

My schnauzer, Moose, walks in,
tilts his head to the side
giving me a big kiss.
This moment is sweet bliss!

Then off to the dog park
for daily canine fun --
the furry kids chase balls,
ignore us when we call.

Sun sinks low in the sky --
Moose and I head home.
"To Do" list still quite long (!),
I sigh and hum a song.

Hubby greets us with hugs
and tales of his own.
Too bad cute dog can't cook,
so in the fridge I look.
