Post-It Note Poem #1

This is the first poem I ever wrote.

I don’t know how this came about, but after coming up with the title and sitting on it for a few hours, it just flowed from my brain to my pen and onto a post it note.

This was right after reading a few chapters of the book “Writing Down the Bones”

Anyway, Prof. Valliere and Shamini asked to share, so here is my first Post-It Note Poem :)

I’m a tortoise with a purpose.
Every single step I take
is carefully considered.
I never feel hindered when
someone zooms right by
I’m a tortoise with a purpose.
I try.  I try.  I try.
