Poetry Challenge #103-Back to Biz

Who knew going back to business as usual would be so soooooooo. Our youngest grand (far right, can’t dare say “littlest”) sobbed because he was having too much fun over the break, his brother Dylan (left in pic), who turned 11 on the 6th, was thrilled because he was looking forward to celebrating his birthday at school—they do make a big fuss. As for the other two???? And what about you???

Usual Suspects…or ???

Poetry Challenge #103

Back to Biz

Write a poem about the first day back . . . to whatever?

Work?

School?

Back after a lovely vacation?

First day back after a miserable one….

Are you excited/miserable/relieved? Does anything surprise you? What do you like best? Least? 

Try writing your poem in couplets—two lines that rhyme.

Set the timer for 7 minutes.

Start writing!

Don’t think about it too much; just do it.
