Day 25 Hands Can Do So Many Things


When the coin was flipped it came up heads and the topic is hand(s). Anything you can do with your hand(s). Heads means freedom to write whatever/however you feel inspired to about the topic. When I taught one of the writing exercises I had my students do was list verbs about a noun then put them into verse to form a poem. Here is my attempt at that assignment.




Hand Can Do Many Things

Hands can do many things
Applaud a job well done
Sooth a fevered brow
Point out the right way

Hands can do many things
Stir a dough for cookies
Paint a beautiful portrait
Swat the bottom of a wayward child

Hands can do many things
Dial a phone to just say, "hello"
Type a message full of news
Write a love note never sent

Hands can do many things
Wipe away all kinds of tears
Snap a warning loud and clear
Clench in rage at injustice

Hands can do many things.


Something Extra




You Are Mashed Potatoes



Ordinary, comforting, and more than a little predictable

You're the glue that holds everyone together.
