Monday, September 29: Write about the things you did NOT do this weekend.

This weekend, I did NOT write. I've got feelings bottled way up in me right now, and I feel like a shaken soda bottle ready to pop, but the words just aren't ready to come out yet.

This weekend, I did NOT cook. Usually I cook for a few hours on Sundays so that I have good lunches to look forward to, but the only things I made this weekend were a weird breakfast with rice and potatoes and some split pea soup. I also baked a loaf of bread. So, I did cook...but not as much as I usually do. I usually cook a LOT.

This weekend, I did NOT read. I know...crazy, right? I spent a lot of time watching TV! All my favorite shows started last week, so I spent several hours catching up on them on Friday and Saturday.

This weekend, I did NOT get very much sleep. I tried to sleep in, but I woke up early on Saturday and Sunday, which is so frustrating! Thank goodness for coffee...

This weekend, I did NOT perform poetry, but I saw some unbelievably talented poets perform at the Poets for Ferguson event at the McKenna Museum. How would you feel if we got to perform at a museum one day?

  2. I did NOT go to the skating ring. If I would have gone, I would have skated until my feet fell off.
    I did NOT go to the lazer tag. If I would have gone, I would have gone into the dark cage.
    I did NOT eat popcorn. If I would have gone to the movies, I would have eaten popcorn.
    I did NOT go to sleep. I did not want to miss my show so I did not sleep.
    I did NOT play on my daddy's Ipad. I wanted to play games on it.
    I did NOT eat chicken. If I would have eaten chicken, I would have ate it until the bone is gone.
    I did NOT go to Friday's restaurant. I wish I would have because I like there strawberry shakes.
    I did NOT put on lipstick. If I would have put on lipstick, I would have looked cute.
    I did NOT go to the zoo. If I go to the zoo, I will look for monkeys and lions.
    I did NOT sign papers. If I sign papers I will be bored.
    I did NOT draw pictures. When I draw pictures, I draw icecream.
    I did NOT get my nails done. When I go to the nail shop, I always pick pretty colors.

    1. Khullie, this poem is mesmerizing! Its rhythm reminds me of "Honey, I LOVE." I think I'll write mine in the same form! Thanks for the idea!
