I’m also Celebrating today with Ruth Ayres!
Celebrating Friends*
so much depends
upon
friends with relaxed
traditions
wearing comfortable clothes
talking
sometimes tears, mostly
laughter.
Great use of a mentor text! Great to have that kind of friends. Visiting a couple of mine this evening!
Sounds like a great group to call friends. (Love WCW!)
Lovely! …wonderful use of mentor text.
So nicely written. And yes, agreed!
I love the “so much depends” imitation and have tried it myself with coffee mugs, people, and whatever was in my hand at the time. The first time I used it with kids, it was their ticket to lunch: “So much depends on this piece of lined paper, the only thing standing between me and my food.” Ha!
Relaxed traditions with friends – that just makes me feel comfy! Glad you have friends like this to share the tears and laughter.
😘 Don’t know what I would do without people like you in my life! Feel lucky!
I like the inspiration of the William Carlos Williams poem – there are so many ways to use that structure!
