Reverse Cinquain for #tankatuesday

Tall pines

More still than a seventh grader

Strong, firm, and evergreen

Subtle wind shift

Life map

This weeks challenge was to write about what you see through your window. I was in class when I read the prompt, so I decided to use my wonderfully large windows as an inspiration.

I don’t think I quite expressed the contrast between the stillness of the trees and the restlessness of the student, but that’s what I’m going for.

Female Bands for Women’s History Month

In honor of Women’s History Month, I have compiled a list of the female fronted or all female bands that I have seen in my life. It’s hard to reach back and remember every group, but I think I have a pretty good list. I can honestly say that every single one of these acts was great! 

  • Heart 
  • Cranberries 
  • Jewel 
  • Sugarcubes 
  • 10,000 Maniacs 
  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs 
  • Evanescence 
  • No Doubt 
  • Sherryl Crow 
  • Elle King 
  • Indigo Girls 
  • Veruca Salt 

This is not a ranked list. Maybe I will do that next!

#sundaystills photo challenge: “I’d rather be…”

I have to say that I am a fortunate person, and am usually happy doing whatever I’m doing in the moment. But if I had to choose something “I’d rather be” doing, certainly performing in front of an audience is high on the list. In this case, performing in front of a GIANT picture of myself!
