Our own places,
where we sit side by side.
A table and a desk,
and yet two chairs
the only similarity.
A window sits between,
our singular view on the world.
You are learning
and growing so much,
all the while inspiring me.
You being home-schooled
and learning many things.
Me with my writings
and moments of idleness,
that bond us together.
Our lives and
the journey, forever
an adventure, together.

This short free write poem I wrote in response to Shawn L. Bird’s Poetic Diversity Project prompt for her Masters class. For March 1st , she has asked to please share details about your physical environment to demonstrate our diversity, and how we come together through our poetry!
I have written about the two spaces where I and my daughter sit and often do our thing! :) I have a table with my laptop and my daughter has a desk where she often does her school work. We sit side by side facing the wall with a window between us. I encourage you to join in the fun and follow Shawn’s blog, she is a terrific writer!
