25 words: Stare and Wonder
Hungry morning.
I look out my window yearning.
I see a sky offering food for my soul.
I stare. I wonder.
How did it know?

Hungry morning.
I look out my window yearning.
I see a sky offering food for my soul.
I stare. I wonder.
How did it know?
The Writer
ME LIZ STRAUSS
Chicago
I walk. I talk. I fall down. I dance in an elevator. But I never, ever run for a bus.
E-mail ME STRAUSS!
When I give my soul room to breathe,
everyone I know gets nicer.
I hate feeling sorry for myself more than I hate breaking my headphones.

Curiosity Takes Me
I value the heartfelt opinion that
sees all sides of the question.

Wow!
Powerful little poem.
I feel the same way
when I look out my window
and see the water
constantly changing color
as a parade of boats passes by
I hear a lone seagull cry
and my heart answers
Food for the soul. A wonderful thought! Blue Popsicles? Cotton Candy and Lemon Drops? What a great way to start your day!
sky and i
same sigh
sometimes a cry
wondering why we are so far apart
Lovely little poem. Wish I had started the day with it.
Hi Julie,
What a compliment to receive such a comment in response to what I wrote!
Hi Easy!
I'm enjoying the images of blue popsicles and cotton candy! Thank you for those!
Gregory,
You're not as far as you're thinking.
Listen harder while you're looking.
Dr. John!
You made my day by saying that!
hello me strauss...nice to find a fellow storyteller. After all,there are little stories everywhere, even in a blue popsicle.
Hi Nikki!
Everyone calls me "Liz." Come on in! Great to meet you. :)
what a wonderful poem, Liz.
every morning, i am always hungry, looking for my daily fix of tea and bread/noodles. i am grateful for that. :)
Hi dsnake,
Every morning, I know what you mean. This comment will make me think of you!
I thought I was a relatively smart people who read your work I know that I am not!
I'm not sure what you're saying. But I'm sure you're as smart as anyone. :)
Two lists to live by: "absolutely MUST have in life" and "absolutely NOT OK".
Must have: 20 laughs per day, fun challenges, 25 words (smile)
Thank you, Carl!
I so agree!
