My day
Maddie’s day
In my office
At grandmas
Buried under piles of paperwork
Blowing bubbles
Moving mountains of books
Planting strawberries
Reading page after page of notes
Splashing in the pool
Stacking binders to bring home
Chasing after grandpa with a water gun
Making lists of exciting to-dos
Stirring lemonade
Getting office supply giddy
Cruising the street on a pink scooter
Anticipating the possibilities
Relishing each moment
My summer
Maddie’s summer
We hope to meet in the middle soon
Yes, meet in the middle soon!
I anticipate a JOYFUL meeting for shared summer memories!
I love your structure! I saw you today so I can vouch for your crazy day. Glad Maddie is having fun with her grandparents 🙂
I love this poem. What a great way to show two sides of a story. I’m going to have to save this for next fall. I bet I’ll get some interesting ones when I try it with my creative writing students!
Wonderfully creative parallel poetry.
Even though I knew the structure, I was still sometimes taken in to read the two together and to delight in the opposition. Great poem.
