I'm participating in a songwriting challenge with some of my homeschool friends. Every week, we receive a prompt via email containing a subject for that week's song. A couple of weeks ago, the challenge was, "Write a song including the word, 'Snowflake.'"
"Great!" I thought. Lovely word, is it not? And, with all the crazy weather that's been happening recently, I definitely shouldn't have been lacking inspiration.
I was.
Forget brainstorming and choosing the best idea. I couldn't even come up with one. Then, when I did, it wasn't a song.
So, dear blog readers, to you I bequeath this work of my brain, as a sort of consolation to myself for failing that week's challenge. Whether this is to your fortune or misfortune, you decide. :)
Wind sings in my ears
Every winter brings
Enjoyment of its own.
Trees enrobed in ice
Sparkle in the sun
Each one, oh, so bright
And I just close my eyes.
Smile.
On my tongue a
New snowflake has arrived.
*Do you see how I got that word out of the way from the very beginning? ;)
I thought you couldn't come up with anything? I think your Snowflake song is lovely, all you have to do is sing it...and it's a song :>)
