Spread Your Wings

Poet, Karl Shapiro said, "The proper reaction to any work of art is joy."

Reveal joy in writing.

Let it result from observations and reactions with a sensory perspective.

Take a walk and record sights, sounds and scents that bring feelings of wonder.

Focus on how you relate to the natural environment.

Take a breath and fill your lungs with the freshness of the day.

Marvel at birds that populate the sky. Can you name them?

Discover the tinyness around you.

Color your feelings. Move your thoughts with scents.  Listen for the warmth of the day.




Creative Write: Write without using the word joy.

Bring your reader into the experience with words that bounce and spread their wings.

Capture the moment of ecstasy with words.
