I Want To Write A Blog

I want to write a blog. 

Should it be about Crafts?

Or the weather?

Or maybe the quirky things my students do in class….

No…not that one

Lawsuits equal pain.

Should it be about love?

…or the lack there of…..

Poems? Or Dogs? 

Oh! Or Photography?

Yeah…that I don't have a degree in,

but "I am one,"

said by every amateur with a fancy camera.

Then there is sports, 

But I know as much about sports 

as I do about String theory.

What about jewelry?

No I'm not that girly.

There is my obsession with Disney

Except not being driving distance

away makes that a hard one to

accomplish.

I am a huge nerd--Star Wars?

Yeah then label me with the cliche whores.

Art? Or History--what boring thoughts I am 

thinking

No it needs to be something…

something…

something…

Me-ified. 

Something I won't start to hate

or get bored writing about. 

Lets think…

…

…

What is something not everybody writes about?

…

…

…

Yeah I got nothing. 

So i'm here writing this free verse poem

about want to write a blog

and the ideas aren't really flowing,

so I guess I will just be Dunne.

Dunne?

Oh! Why hadn't the thought crossed

my mind! 

Authors and Books and things unseen

Romance and fiction and those things in-between!

I will write about the written word

Where anyone can fly like a bird!

(And use cheesy, cliche, rhyming lines like that…)

So here is too the blog inside of me

The adventures and dramas and pirate ships at sea

The princesses and scandals, and the loves meant to be

Here is where my heart 

truly lies

A bound book, pages sewn,

ink splotched, and words woren

The key to my heart lies within a book

So there is where I will reside 

and my blog I will write. 

What is Life?

What is a life? There are many definitions, but one of Merriam-Websters's is "the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional plant or animal from a dead body." Pretty self explanatory right? Not really. Life is more than breathing in and out, heart pumping, blood flowing, eating, sleeping, staying vital; it is so much more than that. Life has no real concrete definition. Each human, plant, and animal has a life, and each one is very unique.

That is why this is called pieces of a life, because no life can be fully explained in the written word or even by the function of our brain. There is more that we will never be able to process fully and comprehend whether we are 5 or 50 years old. Life is big mystery and trying to understand it is wasting the precious time we have, so instead of explaining it let us just share what he have experienced? Scary concept right? Sharing life experiences? What is that is just one way of how we live! We were made to share, laugh, cry, talk to our peers. You can say it is our programming.

Some pieces might be scary or sad, some might be happy or crazy, but in the end they are pieces of how we live. No matter who we are or the circumstances we are in we need to respect those pieces people share. That is what I am going to do here and if you want to join me good for you! It is a challenge and a great one in that.

What is great about expressing life is it isn't just words on a page! It is pictures, music, poems, artwork, etc! You never know what inspiration is going to be used to show those pieces of life! Use your expressive nature and if you have something you want me to write about or post here email me and I will work it out for you the best I can
