The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

Poetry Thursday

My Voice
my voice
echoes off the walls

I wonder if it has any weight at all

Is there sound
audible to all

My thoughts are loud
I hear the words
falling from my lips
all around me do not flinch

No replies
no movement

My Voice
my voice
louder I call

The reactions are there
anger is returned

No sweetness spared
punished am I
for my volume

This could have been avoided
had you answered
the first time

    Oh my goodness I love this! I kept thinking about when I am telling my kids to do something, how it takes two or three times, with an aggravated response. The last line made me laugh! Good job!
