February 4 – First Day of School

A themed #postitnotepoetry submission today as my youngest, Little Miss #2, starts her first day of Kindergarten.

Post It Note Poetry Feb 4

Excitement chases nervousness

Across the asphalt of the playground,

Following the painted lines

Of hopscotch squares and swirly snakes

And jumping over cracks.

When the bell rings

The chicks are gathered ‘neath Wisdom’s wings

    Having been in that playground it evoked so much more.

    Best final line…written with the insightful aplomb, only a teacher could pen.
