A shower? A bath?
There is something about taking a shower or bath.
You're in a world of all your own.
As an old Calgon commercial used to say, "It takes you away!"
Away from the busy day and into the caresses of drenching warmth
Of your alone place.
Sometimes the best ideas stream from showers or baths.
A lesson plan just seemed to flow in from nowhere.
The right words surface to spend tomorrow.
Can I remember all these things when I leave?!
It's the little things again
That make us feel good, extinguishing the weariness,
Making us whole again.
I don't want to leave..........
"The right words surface to spend tomorrow" and "extinguishing the weariness" - I like your word choice. With the structure and pace of your writing you have created the soothing mood of the bath. I can relate to this text. Bubble bath takes all my worries away.

I take baths to get warm. It would be a great place to read but pages have a way of getting wet. :( Hmmm...waterproof books. Probably way to expensive.
ReplyDeleteExactly,my best thinking time!

The words flow like I'm taking a shower. Blogger Literacy Zone (Michelle) asked if there were waterproof sticky notes for those ideas that sprout in the shower. Loved your word choice. You are brilliant! :)MaryHelen
ReplyDeleteI like the same lines as grade4. Something else you wrote struck a chord - so many of my best ideas come in the shower! I need a waterproof sticky note!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I get ideas in the shower all the time! In fact, I now keep sticky notes by the sink. My husband thinks I am nuts. Your poem makes me think how often ideas come to me when I am busy doing simple everyday things like taking a shower or folding laundry.
ReplyDeleteOh Tam--I loved that commercial! I used to dream about being a grown up lady with a fancy bathroom and long hours in the tub....and it's still that. A dream. :)
ReplyDeleteI do agree that good thoughts come in the tub/shower. Remind me to tell BONS something about that when we meet!
Simply Splashing! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteI like the poetic nature of your post. This is so fun to be writing with you. Have I told you how glad I am that you are blogging?

Your word choice and your sentence structure created a tone of relaxation. It took me right into the feeling of standing in my shower and all the thinking that goes on there. I do a lot of my thinking about school in the shower, so I really identified with the line, "A lesson plan just seemed to flow in from nowhere".
