The day that came too soon

Posted by Reens

I will never ever forget that day.
Your hands so cold and soft, completely still.
I held your hands, begged God to let you stay.
It was only your prayer God could fulfill.
I knew that time would come, though not that soon.

Reading Shel Silverstein's 'A Light in the Attic'. Some great stuff here for kids! I'm thinking of using one of these poems to teach creative writing - 'Whatif'. What's your Whatif? . Whatif I can't read or write? Whatif there's no light at night? . . What's your Whatif? . . . #shelsilverstein #alightintheattic #whatif #writingcommunity #creativewriting #poems #poetry #creativeteaching #rhyming #whatsyourwhatif

Short excerpt from something I've been working on... Do you ever feel like this? . . . #wip #writingcommunity #amwriting #childrensbook #writerscommunity #writewritewrite #thisisntreal #lifeisbutadream #amiinamovie

Read this book in January. Thought I should reread it because I seem to have forgotten a lot of it already. I've learned nothing from this book. I mean, I've learned a lot, but I still can't apply them in real life. The whole point of the book is to be able to know which things you should give more of a f*ck about and which things you should give less of a f*ck about. I still have it all backwards. I just typed and erased two drafts of this caption I wanted to write. It's likely that no one will even read it and I'm way overthinking it. . . . #subtleartofnotgivingafuck #markmanson #nonfiction #selfhelpbooks #booksworthreading #bookworm #overthinkingit

Underface by Shel Silverstein . When can we show our underface without being judged or attacked for being ourselves? Who would you show your underface to? . . . #underface #shelsilverstein #shelsilversteinpoems #poem #childrenspoems #outsideface #fearofbeingjudged #beyourself #morelikeme

Finished The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren this afternoon. I don't know how I feel about the ending, but I quite enjoyed the storyline. It is a children's book, written from the younger brother's point of view, but some of the words and phrases seemed a bit too mature for his age. I was already in tears after the first couple of chapters, which was why I put it down for a couple of weeks before reading the rest of it. But - wow. It's a fantasy mixed with the real world, taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions, and covering themes of death, grief, love, loyalty, lies, deception, betrayal, jealousy, power, oppression, suicide... I can't even... . . . #thebrotherslionheart #astridlindgren #readingchallenge #readingeveryday #readingtime #booknerd #booksworthreading #bookaddict #bookworm #bookstagram

Accurate description. My difficulty is in selecting the book I want to take on my travels and go to bed with... . . . @reesesbookclub #bookaholic #bookclub #foreveralone #bookboyfriend #readingtosleep

The Little Prince with colour illustrations. I finally read the whole book. I don't know why, but I never bothered to read past the first half of the book for the longest time. I just kept rereading the first half and stopped at around chapter 9 or 10. When I saw this colour illustrated copy at Eslite, I decided to get it and read the whole thing. I have a lot of mixed feelings about the book though. While I liked the beginning with the aviator's drawings and his explanation of adults being less creative and imaginative, and all the nuggets of wisdom that were brought up via the Prince's visits to various planets inhabited by different depictions of mankind, I had a major issue with the Prince's companion - the flower. This flower probably bothered me more than it should, but, oh man, what a needy, vain, attention-seeking, proud, inanimate object! I would probably like the story more if it had been an animal. The flower is supposed to represent his wife, but it sure is a 'complicated creature' with so many issues. And that ending... So... The little prince dies and the question that remains is: 'Has the lamb eaten the flower, yes or no?' 🤦 I don't know how I feel about this. The Little Prince is also not the most likable character either. He is a little bit stuck up, never answering a question directly but asks so many questions himself and demands answers... It's written like a children's book, but I don't think it is meant to be understood by children. . . . #thelittleprince #antoinedesaintexupery #colourillustrations #pocketsizedbook #mixedfeelings #classicliterature #readingchallenge #januaryreads2020

Even though I've read 'You' on Kindle already, I've been scouring bookstores to get the paperback because I loved it so much, but every time I spotted it, there was something wrong with the cover like some creases or scratches. I just love owning paperback books and admiring them on my bookshelf. Yesterday, I finally got my hands on a perfect copy! I should have gotten Hidden Bodies too, since season 2 is now on Netflix. . Does anyone else buy paperback copies of a book you've already read on Kindle? I am also considering getting the audiobook as well to make it a complete set. Does this make me obsessed? . #you #youonnetflix #youseason2 #hiddenbodies #carolinekepnes #bookstotv #bookstagram #joe #will #beck #candace #love #forty #stalkerfiction #obsessed #bingewatching #notsleepingtonight
