A little poem I wrote …
Crush
 Just a little tingle

Just a frisson
of joy
Not wanting to
get too happy
Need to act
a little coyNeed to keep
myself in check
Or else the world
will see
How much I
am affected
Because today

A little poem by my daughter Lil Princess. 8 and competing with me already! Bless her!
She wanted me to put it on the blog and be sure to let you all know she wrote it. Not I !
I like ice cream such a lot
I like it most when days are hot
In a cone or in a dish
This would be my only wish
Vanilla, Chocolate, Rocky Road
Pile it up until there’s a loadLil Princess 2017

I have decided to attempt Linda’s Just Jot It January Challenge (#JusJoJan) this year. Whether I’ll be able to post daily is another matter, but I shall try!
The Just Jot It January 1st prompt, brought to you by Barb of ghostmmnc, is: “Spider.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Barb as well! Here’s her blog: https://teleportingweena.wordpress.com/ .
On this first day of the new year
It is common to have no fear
To weave a spider’s web of dreams
Of targets that you wish to achieve
To brush those old cobwebs away
And allow new ones to make their way
Give yourself a fighting chance
Choose wisely, skills you wish to enhance
Small steps are better than none
Learn to walk before you run
The spider starts with just one strand
Before creating something grandRitu 2017
