becoming

Greeting. (typo but hee hee apparently I only have time today for a single greeting) 

This week is becoming a little less frantic as the weekend approaches, but at this very moment...it's still frantic.   Hence, a very light swing at the March challenge set for the Inklings by Margaret:

"Taking inspiration from this poem posted for Jacqueline Woodson’s birthday https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/58421/on-paper, write a poem (any form or free verse) using the word becoming."

And even that I couldn't quite manage!

Become

to be

come knocking

to be
come in

to be
come closer

come on now

come clean

to be

come as you are

come a come a

come as chameleon

come out, come out

whoever you are

to be

come out of the blue

come out of your shell

come out in the wash

to be

come quietly

come in small packages

to be 

come to grief

come rain or come shine

come hell or high water

to be

come out of left field

come out swinging

come at me

to be

come to your senses

come to a head

to be

come back from the brink

come to a conclusion

come home

become

What I want to know is, did Jacqueline Woodson know this poem from SING A SONG OF POPCORN (1988), or is this becoming yourself through writing a universal, expressible in myriad ways?

Thanks to our hostess today, Karen Edmisten, who graces us with an original poem (a treat rarer than I for one would like!).  SPRING FORWARD with hope, fortitude and longanimity, everyone!
