We, the Coronado Scribes, consist of both professional and amateur writers. We have in common a desire to learn, by sharing our efforts and listening to other writers. We hold pressure-less sessions every Wednesday, at the Coronado Library conference room, starting at 1:30. Often we have guests who wish to just listen. They are welcome, and so are you.
Each week on eCoronado, we feature a different piece of prose or poetry produced by one of our writers. Please feel free to comment or ask questions in the comment section below.
“What Happens at Three” by Jerry Greenspan
Alessia my favorite three year old, is usually happy,
Which does not preclude the occasional fall from grace.
This afternoon, she changed her position on swimming.
Alessia decided she did not really want to go swimming.
Her change of mind was first voiced as a mere transition.
A sort of, perhaps she’d rather not swim.
Having tasted the sound and finding it too subdued for the task,
Alessia started adding volume, and a tear.
It was not long before a parents promise,
That she would not have to swim, proved entirely inadequate.
Alessia reached full throttle and hysteria; we waited for calm.
One hour later, she was reluctant to leave the pool.
