Green Waterfall: A Slice of Life

Writing teachers need to write themselves.

I am participating in the Slice of Life 2015 Challenge, 

where I attempt to write stories and narratives about moments in my life.

I apologize if this blog post veers off the informative "literacy lens" I usually write through.

This month I am pretending to be a writer, for my students' benefit (and my own).

Writers write.

Water rushing over the rocks

People gather, dressed in shades of green

Waiting...

Kids in Irish hats running up and down the hill

Throwing sticks into the water

Still waiting...

A shamrock green glow starts to emerge,
Spilling into the pools below
The emerald waterfall arrives.

Kids squeal in delight
Cameras click away, capturing the moment
The leprechaun has returned again this year.

Then, as quickly as it began,
The green begins to fade away.
Luckily, memories last forever...
