Spinners

Spinners

Small little squares

From folded white paper

That we color with markers

Make cool designs

Then spin real fast

And watch the colors blend

Two girls and their mom

On a Friday night

Make fourteen spinners

It was complete delight

The T.V. turned off

No computers or phones

Just paper, colors, scissors

And the sound of rain

Hitting the window

Making the night so calm

And serene

Little white papers

Filled with colors

Spinning

By the little fingers

Of my little girls

The blending

Like our days

and weeks

Blending together

To create our lives

As the spinner

Slowed down, just before it stopped

The designs appeared

Crisp and Clear

Details, swirls, dots and lines

Which I try to see

Everyday

As I try to slow

my spinning self
