Weeks worth of emotions, thoughts and words are ruminating in my brain, their current consistency too thick to plate (upon the page). With a bit more time to marinatee they will become tender and more favorable a dish to pass.
For the time being, I am sharing a poem written by my eleven year old son. Bloody brilliant if you ask me! This mom is so impressed!
Element Poetry
by Carter Retzlaff
Gold
Shiny, rarity
Melting, freezing, bending
Jewelry, electricity, dentistry, bedrock
Dissolving, reflecting, shaping
Valued, attractive
Au

(I had to ask what "Au" meant. It's the elemental abbreviation for gold on the periodic table. He is already learning chemistry, a subject never presented in my education.)

That poem is wonderful! You've a poet in your home. What a great job he did on that.
Seriously, very well done.
PS I don't blame you for being proud!
Ruminate as long as needed but feel free to purge when you get the urge.
Your son is a much better poet than I. Au, I learned something new today.
brilliant, indeed,
and i know just what you mean
about marinating and waiting:)
life is sweet, just the same.
bravo to your young poet,
Jennifer

May the marinating make it all tender and easier to digest.
Happy Wednesday !
Way to go little guy! Love the poem...and yep sure glad you included definition for Au ;)
Wonderful!
Even though it is all about gold, I love how the words created a diamond shape.
