observations
There is value in taking some time to sit back and observe what's going on around you. Take a normal occurrence you observed in the world- a man consoling a crying child in a crowded bus, a fox running across the road- and turn it into a poem or a story. get creative :) and tag me @ubiquitous.

Play

My son. 14. Playing in the house. Back and forth with the ball, full of rouse.

6 o’clock at night, no care in the world. His body, up down around whirled.

Breathing hard, no stopping for air. Must be nice, to be young carefree and unaware.

20 min passed, still no sign of fatigue. Youth, sustinence, energy, I am intrigued.

Stops to tease me, such a pain. He constantly pesters me, says I have no brain.

Do your homework, leave me alone. Shout at him to study, in that motherly tone.

Love him so much, he is my son. Endure his smart mouth, until he is done.

Love the silence, nose in his book. I glance over at him, just one quick look.
