So it's that time of year again. It came up behind me and bit me in the bum. It seems like it was just Christmas just a few months ago. But today I went to a Christmas party at my church with my mom. It was for all the women. We made baskets of goodies for needy people in the ward. Frosted cookies and sang songs. I helped play the piano. It was fun. :)
^I made this sign. :) A year from today, my public library closed down because of lack of funds. So we had a rally/funeral/memorial service for our library today. A group of people and kids march down our downtown area and up to the courthouse front steps. Reporters from the local news, radio and paper were there. The newspaper that was doing the story could send out a photographer, so I got to be the "photographer" I took pictures and I read a poem I wrote about the library closing. So I might appear on the local news, which is weird and cool at the same time. And here's the poem I wrote: Destruction of a Library World of Words, Their time is ending. On the shelves they sigh a bitter sigh. Why should people cry? Only words on paper Behind brick walls Why do I sigh, This humble cry? Why do the words mean so much to me? How can people not feel what I feel? About an old building that smells like old paste That binds together beautiful words In the arms of ancient paper Old
I know what you mean. Here I am in December with no money and no creative ideas. Well... it's the thought that counts right?
ReplyDeleteSure is. Just has to be the right thought . . .
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's almost Christmas. Wow. *cries* I don't want this year to be over so quickly. I love the Christmas season, but I'm getting sad just seeing the Christmas lights out knowing that before long they'll be packed away again. *starts to sob*
ReplyDeleteI really like the new layout, Taiger. It's a nice change.
Thanks, I had the wicker pattern on the Title section on my computer. So I cropped it and added it in. I'm really please with the way it turn out. :) I was bored so I decided to make a change.
ReplyDeleteCool layout. :)
