Together
They sit together, side by side
Watching
Through the window, they watch together
The birds
The birds come and go
Side by side
Eating, side by side
Friends together sitting side by side and watching
— Christie Wyman, 2022 (draft)
Thanks for wondering and wandering a bit with me today. And many thanks to the crew at Two Writing Teachers, and the extended SOL community, for giving us the time, space, and encouragement to live the writerly life here every Tuesday throughout the year and daily during the month of March. And today I cross-post my poemish Slice with Poetry Friday, hosted by Ruth.
Nothing brings more happiness to a parent than those bonds of friendship that our children develop.
