Worm Soup



Glorious,
DNA delectable,
molecules changing places,
neither wanderer nor wonder.
In a tepid, liquid dance,
remaking my lowly self—
creation in destruction.
Worm gravy,
liquid life recipe
in a transformation prison.
No going back—aiming higher.
Breaking free—the final push,
bursting my chrysalis crucible.
Perched wet,
perched dry,
hallowed in flight.

    1. Thanks. Before I started teaching, I was pursuing my writing. I have an essay in a compilation put out by Bethany House. I'm between Mother Teresa and Robert Schuler, which should count for something! :-) I thought I should change my name to And More, because on the cover it lists all the important people, then says "And More." :-)

      Other than that I was published in a bunch of Sunday School papers and mags. I did several things for Campus Crusade's on-line women's mag. I'll send you the link. With teaching and helping direct the home ed dept, my life has been so busy. I started this blog with a class I was doing at the local college a year or so ago, and it was fun to do my own things again rather than just teach kids how to do it. The I started the Wordpress blog last October, and it has taken off moreso. It is fun and keeps the ideas generating just having a dealine I am giving myself.
