The Hart of It

I am a 41 year old mother of 3.  Back when I was a person, before I became Mom I loved to do things like write, read books, ride my bike.  When I became a Mom and then a stay at home mom, I sort of disappeared into the background.  I don't really remember much about the me I used to be, but now I am going to try to find a piece of me I have lost over the years.  The writer.

I appreciate this isn't exactly professional caliber writing here.  I am quite rusty, and this typing on the keyboard thing is awkward.  I am used to writing with a pen and paper.  Also, I have to keep stopping because the dog keeps barking and my youngest is calling.  Anyone who is a parent knows what that's like. And it makes it difficult to think.

So, I want to get back to writing.  So I figure a blog might be a good way to do it.  Yes, I know.  There are a bazillion blogs out there and a million mom blogs out there.  But that's OK.  Because I am not doing this to be famous.  I am doing this so that I can just write about stuff and maybe get my brain working again.  This is more a matter of exercise.  I hope I can get my ability back up and running.  I really miss it.


Wanna see one of my old poems?  From back when I used to write all the time?  This seems like a good one since it will be June in a couple of days.

June

A sweet breeze against my face
As the oak fronds fall to pray
I taste the sweet fragrance of a rose
And smile
The soft glow of moonlight
Falls gently upon the world
And a glittering of stars color the sky
A few have fallen to the bushes
As they float around me
I wonder if I caught one
Would it give me my wish?
But they look so much better
Among the bushes and flowers
So I think I'll let them be
And I'll close my eyes and dream
Of this time when life was free
Carefree and full of youth
And I'll smile

I hope you liked it.  Please feel free to offer suggestions for topics to write about or maybe a subject for a poem?  Thank you for reading.
