Little Places: poems around the campfire

Our Campsite in Shepard Forest

---

It's campfire season! I love sitting around the fire with my family. There's something about a campsite that can just make your heart all warm and toasty. It's the perfect little place to tell some stories around the fire and to get some writing in, too. My boys love for me to tell scary stories and call the owls in closer to our campsite. We seem to have formed a habit of the things we bring to the camp as well as the things we like to do while we are there.
This got me to thinking about how the smallest spaces can hold such a giant significance for us as part of our everyday life routine. These poems are a result of that thinking about how much writing can come from those little places we travel in and out of from day to day.

Invitation to write:

Even moments that we spend at little places that we love can spark ideas for writing. Think of the everyday moments you spend in your room, your yard,  or even around the kitchen table. These little places can hold great significance for us. Sometimes thinking about the places we spend our day and the conversations or habits that happen within those places, can turn out to be a great starting point for getting our writing going.
