It’s Tuesday and time to share our slices at Two Writing Teachers.
This image was submitted by Mary Lee Hahn for Laura Shovan’s Found Objects Poetry Challenge. And Michelle’s DMC is to write a “ditty’, suggested by David L. Harrison.
The word “ditty” comes from the Old French “to compose.”
Wheelbarrow tracks
crisscross
the soft, garden mud.
Having rained
three nights ago
the dirt
is like modeling clay.
Straight, simple
lines
obtuse, acute, right angles
father would be
proud
geometry in the soil
Wheelbarrow tracks
parallel lines
in which I compose a ditty.

This is very rough and I will probably return to revise. But this is a milestone. I have my writing for SOL and Laura’s challenge done before the end of Tuesday.

As someone who frequently posts late in the day, congrats on an early entry. Love the “geometry in the soil”!
Love the application to writing for this pic, Jone, & you’re right, I’m not used to seeing your post this early. Congrats! (FYI-you might want to send this also to Michelle Barnes for David Harrison’s challenge on her blog. The word is “ditty”!
Perfect companion to that photograph, which is all angles and lines.
What an enterprising poet! And you worked a little math in, too! I’ve been meaning to ask: what is the name of the font used in the titles? I love it.
Love it – nicely written. Love the word ‘ditty’ too!
