This morning on Ethical ELA we are asked to create a list poem. As I walked in the brilliant sunshine this morning, I noticed a packed UHaul and it brought back memories of college runs....
Have you?
Loaded beds, stacked boxes,
Sweating, breathing expletives,
Rolled rugs, stuffed clothes,
Shoving into crevices,
Culled piles, ditched treasures?
Driven for hours,
Searched in boxes, glared into bags,
Hoping you have the key?
Looked to the Heavens,
Wondering about this move?
Rented apartments, found trucks,
Knowing it is for an interval,
Believed in opportunities to learn and grow.
Moving the mounds of belongings
Required for young lives
On their maiden voyages?
