Always leave the first page glazed—

like a blanket invitation, a privacy shield to the other pages,

a witness protection program.

The blank page will wink at you when you search for curiosities

or need your space . So no matter the date or age,

leave the door open with a blank first page.


GloPoWriMo#15 Your challenge is to write a six-line poem that uses simple language and expresses enthusiasm using as sermon/prayer-like quality and ends with a bang.

    1. Thanks, Michele. 💜Yes, that first page has been a trusted barrier for many years. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in this practice.
      He’s a great artist companion these days, my son, as he’s often lost in a drawing. My daughter also has the dimples and prefers to have her hands in some paint. 🎨

      Being a mom means having lots to smile about. 😉
