show your heart

i was tagged by the awesome nicola of inside the cabinet of wonder (thanks nicola!) to do the 'show your heart tag'...with as much creativity as you can muster, show your heart in: 1 picture, 1 poem, 1 song or piece of music, 1 phrase or quote, 1 piece of clothing, 1 place and (just for fun) 1 disney princess. i think this is going to be a hard one, but i will try!

1 picture: i know it's tiny (i took it on my old cell) but i thought it was exhilarating.

1 poem:

this is a poem that i read a long time ago in elementary school. i can't seem to find the author to it. does anyone know who wrote it? but i loved it ever since. it is quite quirky:]

bingo

Saturday night

Dad washed, I dried

the supper dishes

while Mom armed herself

for Early Bird bingo at seven

in the church basement:

her lucky piece

(a smooth quarter she’d won the first time out),

seat cushion,

and a White Owls box of pink plastic markers.

Dad read the paper

watched TV with me

until Mom returned,

announcing her triumph with a door slam

and a shout“I was hot!”

Flinging her hat,

twirling out of her jacket,

she pulled dollar bills

from her pockets

before setting them free

to flutter like fat spring snow.

“Ninety-two dollars!” she squealed

as Dad hugged her off the floor.

“Ninety-two dollars!”

In bed I listened to

mumbled voices

planning to spend the money-on groceries

school clothes

A leaky radiator-

and wished she’d buy

a shiny red dress

long white gloves

and clickety-click high heels.

1 song: it's in between dawn by jean-yves thibaudet & clair de lune by debussy.

1 phrase or quote: "the shadow proves the sunshine" - jon foreman.

1 piece of clothing: a cardigan.

1 place: a meadow in the woods.

1 disney princess: belle of beauty & the beast.
