I dedicate this post to Teacher Kim Oldenburgh,
who asked me to send her class a photo of my workspace.
I was too embarrassed by the mess and never did.
Finally, here it is. Honesty is good. xo, Amy

Students - Last week I had a Skype meeting...and as my study is always near-distaster-state, I needed to straighten up a little bit. As I did so, I realized that one corner of my desk made me smile. The rest was a mess. The mess made me smile too, but it may not have made my meeting-colleagues smile, so I cleaned it all up and took a picture of that corner you see above.
It did not take long for my desk to become messy again...see below. But a desk, like a mind, is a very busy place, so I like to tell myself that it can't alllllways be neat.
Anyway, today's poem is clearly about a place. It is a simple description poem of the things that are currently on this desk I call home. At this moment, my desk looks just like the photograph below. In two days it will look different. It always does.
Not sure what to write about? Walk five steps and write about that place. Or write about a place you've been many times or a place you've only visited once. Heck, write about a place that you've never been or does not even exist. Let the idea of place be your guide.
And if you wish to include lists, as I did, please do.
