This morning’s summer writing workshop, Timed Writing was just delightful! We got so much writing done, and a lot of new pieces to expand on and complete. We wrote about feet, food and school. We laughed and shared memories. We listened to music and wrote, looked at a photograph and wrote. It was refreshing and inspiring!
Here’s a taste of what was written:
Writing exercise: look at a photograph – write for 5 minutes
Knuckle Mountains
by Vanessa Shields
cracks in fingers
like fossils on grey stone
atop seven knuckle mountains
carved into life’s hand landscape
nails corrugated
rimmed in black
jagged thick
puddles of strength
kind gentle
in their grit
these hands
will save you
a cut
diagonal healing
fusing wound
knuckle mountains
secret crevices stories in each fold
