A Day of Sharing

Dorthy's Poem

Clyde's Poem, Mountains

On Friday, we shared writings we have held on for years. The writings consisted of poems and a short story. Each poem had a completely different tone and Clyde, Dorthy, and Cathy told us stories about what inspired the poems and why each one was special to them. Clyde wrote his poem, Mountains, when was 13 years old and he told us of stories that he experienced and what inspired to write his poem. Dorthy's poem tells us about her love and affection she has for her seven grandchildren and what they did together. Cathy's poem is very touching and was written to her by her boyfriend. And I brought in Enchanted Island, a short story about two dear friends of mine, Joshua and Alanna. Joshua and I shared many reading reading classes at SDSU, climbed classic routes in Joshua Tree National Park and surfed whenever we could. Alanna and I were close friends and took many writing classes together at SDSU. Joshua and Alanna are married and live near South Lake Tahoe in California. Next week's short story is On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather. Enjoy!
