So recently, my cute niece Heather Sullivan wrote on her blog about some Medieval Persian Poetry she'd been reading and wrote of how it inspired her. At our house, we have a library book titled "Tap Dancing on the Roof" which is a collection of fun poems written in the style of Sijo or Korean poetry. I read this one and it made me smile. Heather it's not that deep, but it's still poetry!
Summer Storm
Lightning jerks the sky awake to take her photograph, flash!!
Which draws grumbling complaints or even crashing tantrums from thunder--
He hates having his picture taken, so he always gets there late.

About Me
- Cheryl
- I'm a stay at home mother of two who's trying to enjoy every second I can of this grand life adventure. In addition to enjoying my family and doing good in the world I have a couple of other big goals. I'd like to go everywhere and meet everyone before I die. Ok, so neither is realistic, but as long as it's my goal, I'll get closer than if I weren't trying! This blog isn't meant to be anything more than a window on my life, but it allows me to think about ways to view my everyday experiences and a chance to share them with those I love.

Art imitating life. It reminds me of the first time I took Drew to get his picture taken.
I'm so glad my poetry selection could inspire you like you so often inspire me!! (Oh, and by the way, I quite enjoyed your Persian selection as well. I thought it was beautifully expressed.)
