I have been thinking about sharing moments – sharing sweet moments. I have been thinking of Summer and I decided not to focus on the negative – the fact that the sun has been hiding for so long and the hay-fever I have developed, the difficultly I am having breathing properly.
I decided to focus on the sun that has finally found its home in our London skies and instead of a ‘non-literal’ free flow that I often do in my Creative Writes workshops and in my own writing – I decided to list all of the positives about Summer.
Try this: Ask yourself what it is you would like to celebrate about this summer? As I sat at my kitchen table, next to a beautiful bunch of flowers from my sister – I thought of gently rippling waves, pure blue skies and the Alexandra Palace roof & BBC mast that I could see in the distance. It was a mixture of dream and reality but it was the essence of Summer that I felt right then and that is what I wanted to share with my notebook. I thought of celebrations that were approaching, I thought of sweet nectar. All of these thoughts were used as a foundation for a poem. After free flowing for 10 minutes ‘I am thinking of Summer…‘ try using some of these words and thoughts for a Summer Is poem or Summer For Me Is…Remember not to think too much! Enjoy!
I look forward to sharing Summer and Autumn with you. Join us for a Creative Writes workshop, where you will find inspiration and supportive groups. Our special summer EARLY BIRD OFFER is on until 31 July 2013: https://www.creativewrites.co.uk/p/bookings-workshop-info-how-to-book.html
