Poetry Challenge!

Here is my poem, inspired by Diva's Bio Poetry Challenge.

So fun and I'm not even a poet!!

Lorie

Joyful, playful, healthy, fun

daughter of stoic, driven European immigrants

lover of......... riding horses through green mountain meadows

                                    bright yellow sunflowers in dark blue vases...

                                                brilliant full moons peeking in my nighttime window

Who feels grateful to be here, overwhelmed by the bounty of a joyous life and also deeply sorrowful over the suburbanization of our world.

Who finds happiness in spending time with her one true love,

working, laughing, loving.

Who needs big open spaces filled with animals and flowers.

Who gives her heart, and

Who fears it won't be returned.

Who would like to see society valuing the earth over profit.

Who enjoys porter style beers that taste like chocolate milk...

Who likes to wear her hair down, held back from her face by a small, sparkly dragonfly comb- that used to be mom's.

fabulous day!

I had just the most awesome day today!!!  Normally, I jockey a computer for 9 hours, 5 days a week, but not today!!!  Our Equestrian teacher had a vacation today and she asked me (yes me!) to cover her class today. it is actually more than a class it is 3 hours before lunch and then 3 hours after lunch with a small crew of 4 teenagers.  this morning we picked up poop and ran the wheelbarrows up onto the compost pile, we talked and sang along with old 70's songs, which none of them knew and I knew ALL the words to.  It was A BLAST!! 

Then we groomed all 6 of the horses and gave them a lunch time snack while we came back and had super yummy chicken for lunch.

After lunch, we went back out and talked a little about horse illnesses, then got one of them out and, with the aid of a labeled diagram, put post it notes all over her with the different parts- like hoof, croup, stifle.  it was soooo fun!  Then I got to show them how to put on a western saddle and bridle and they got to do a little riding. 

it was the absolute best!!  and on top of it all I got paid to do it!  so much better than sitting at the computer. 

yay horsies!!!

Trust

Trust has always been a big issue for me. 

I painted this little painting to highlight what I trust.  It wasn't planned, but looking at it, I can see it represents three things I trust and reveals something I didn't really realize, but know to be true about myself.

Can you see it?  Tell me what you think I trust and what part of this painting reveals about me!
