Today I woke up @ 4:20 am. I was able to check my emails a bit earlier. At work one of my coworkers brought in some Tim Bits from Tim Hortons which really made my day. I was the only other person in my department for a much quieter morning. After lunch I had a lovely zoom meeting with two people from Curiko for my poetry. We are going to get my couplet poems illustrated for my couplet poems book. And I have other Haiku poems that need illustration as well. Things are awesome!

Dear Tara Rankin,
4 days until my birthday. Yesterday I had a choir concert. It was ok. Grace got her ears pierced. She looks nice. I did not do anything today. I stayed home and packed for Aunt Baiba’s. I am staying for a month.
Love, Tara Kimberley Torme

CREATIVE NONFICTION PROMPT
Mary Ruefle’s essay “My Search Among the Birds” takes the form of short diary entries, all relating to birds. The entries each begin with a date and range from simple descriptions (“I saw a bird in the bushes near Dairy Queen. It looked thin to me.”) to more inward reflections (“Although all poets aspire to be birds, no bird aspires to be a poet.”). This week, try taking daily notes on a specific subject that will allow you to observe and be introspective. It could be anything: cellphones, airplanes, mice, socks. See where this act of sustained attention leads you, and craft your entries into an essay.
