Snow Day…Again

      Another Connecticut snow day has me locked away in my home office. I had work to get done, but since I was up early my long day included some arts. 

       I had a fun time exploring the new set of watercolors, they are fancy, in little aluminum tubes. I painted  this Cod, that must seem to be a funny art subject but I am working on some stories for a storytelling performance, Cod fishing and immigration are the core of my research.

       On the subject of Cod I highly recommend the book by that title, written by Mark Kurlansky. Here is a link to my review of the book in an earlier post. https://www.carolynstearnsstoryteller.com/rape-of-the-sea-book-review-cod/
 

      I stirred a big pot of chili and watched the snow assault the windows, my mind wandered. I grabbed my pad and penned the thoughts of snow, nothing fancy just a bit poetic, a rare journey for my mind.
 

 

Here is a piece of my writing from today

 

 

I hear you singing

Soft and distant

 

I hear you singing

a whispered tune

 

I hear you singing

 voice now bold

 

I hear you singing

crescendo to forte

 

I hear you singing

a herald to multitudes

 

I hear you singing

 lament to freedom

 

I hear you singing

Wrap me in your cloak of white

 

I hear you singing

all day and all night

 

I hear you singing

a song of centuries

 

I hear you

old friend and enemy

 

I hear you sing

Nor’easter
