Welcome to Writing Wednesday! Every Wednesday you can publish your own creative writing on the Seymour Science blog.
Writing Wednesday has two simple rules:
1. Give us the best you’ve got in 5 minutes. That’s right - five minutes of creative writing. Think of it as a word extravaganza to warm up your brain for the rest of the day!
2. Tell us your first name, the name of your school, and how old you are.
Ready? Let’s go!
The poet Mary Oliver wrote this in one of her poems:
It is the nature of stone
to be satisfied.
It is the nature of water
to want to be somewhere else.*
What do you think she is saying about the difference between stone and water? How would you describe the ways that stone and water are different? What do you like or dislike about each of them?
Click on the yellow "Comments" at the bottom of this post to enter your writing.
Happy Writing Wednesday!
