Sweet Dreams Lullaby | Betsy E. Snyder

dabbe This reminded me of the time when I first had to teach British poetry to honors sophomores. Beyond simile, metaphor, and personification, I knew next to nuthin'! 🤣 So, I tried to learn a few harder ones. Like “chiasmus“, which your 1st and 3rd line exhibit stunningly! An incredible use of a special kind of repetition. 👏🏻🖤🐝🖤👏🏻 2mo

Does your state loan out state park passes? I love this program!

kspenmoll We can go to state parks free but you need to go early to park- the parks close when lots are full & sone parks have really small lots. 2mo

BooksandCoffee4Me @AnnCrystal Oh, what‘s the legend?! 😃 2mo
AnnCrystal There is more to the legend, but the core of the story is as follows:

“In South American folklore, particularly in the Amazon region, the Jacaranda tree is associated with the Goddess of the Moon and a sacred bird named Mitu. The legend tells of Mitu bringing the Goddess of the Moon to rest atop a Jacaranda tree, where she lived among humans and shared her wisdom, ethics, and empathy.“

👇
(edited) 2mo
AnnCrystal “When her mission was complete, she returned to the tree, adorned with Jacaranda blooms, and ascended to the heavens, uniting with the sun.“

This version came from web 😉👌🏼💝.

Ramsey writes “Sometimes rest is the most courageous work of all.” So true because we‘re always looking for ways to fix, to change, to end difficult situations. Through poems, prayers, and photos, Ramsey invites us to rest, to trust our Shepherd, and to have courage in that resting.

Theo of Golden | Allen Levi

Pickpick

Look into their eyes. Really look. The eyes reveal the joy, the sadness, the layers of life experiences; every life is a story revealed in the eyes. Though some may not see the value of their own stories, those who do can then value the stories of others. When one person sees another with eyes of faith, hope, and love then that one will see the truth of the other's story. Especially when seeing through eyes of love. ⬇️

BooksandCoffee4Me ⬆️Through the eyes of Theo of Golden, the symbol of love, one is bestowed the gift of seeing oneself as one truly is, as one was designed to be, as one is seen by He who most matters. (edited) 3mo

My First Book of Haiku Poems | Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

If you‘ve seen Fleetwood Mac‘s The Dance concert, you know what I‘m trying to capture. The layers of love, hurt, love, longing, hurt, love. Played out on stage. Among all four. But especially between these two.

Ruth, a mother figure to Patty, emphatically tells her, “I love you now. I'll love you forever" and "Even if you forget everything else I want you to always remember that you are a person of value.”

BookmarkTavern That sounds lovely! Thanks for posting! 3mo
dabbe I loved teaching this book in middle school! Thanks for the memory! 💜💚💜 3mo
BooksandCoffee4Me @dabbe This was one where I broke down crying when Ruth was speaking to Patty, and my 7th-graders finished the reading for me. 💛 3mo
dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me Aww, 7th graders are so sweet, aren't they? Most of the time anyway. 💜💚💜 3mo
