An Ode to Pinterest

Considering this is where I spend the VAST majority on on-line time, I suppose I will write about it.  I also just wasted about 15 minutes looking at pins while "thinking" about a topic, so here it goes.
Pinterest, oh pinterest.
What did I ever do before you?
How did I plan a wedding, or design a kitchen? Or know what book to read next?
How did I ever plan lessons without seeing 47 examples of 1 point perspective drawing on ONE SINGLE PAGE?

Your format speaks to me. 
It's as if you know me.  
I am intrigued by friends and those I follow and marvel at one thing
after
another
after 
another
after 
another.  

You have captured all the beauty, creativity, inspiration and awe of the web,
and you share it with me.
If only one day my home, my spaces, my mind and my soul could become the reality of pins that dazzle my eyes.

Pinterest, oh pinterest. 
If there was only one website I could see for the rest of my days, 
it would be you.
If there was only one way to get ideas for everything,
it would be you. 
And even though my husband thinks I am crazy for scrolling down and down and further down (and then back up to make sure I didn't miss anything)...
You are the way I see the world, and you are full of the things in this world I want to see.

    Of course you love Pinterest--you're a visual girl! I also enjoy it but I am so afraid of the addiction factor that I've avoided it. Now I know that there's good reason for it.

    I too have been afraid of the addiction that I hear so many suffer from. That's what I thought as I read this post right before my students walked in, and I didn't have time to comment. Then, what do you know? During TCAP, I started mentally designing my backyard and I started wondering, I wonder if I could get some good ideas from Pinterest. Damn it! I think I may have to cave. Although I'll admit, you make it sound worth it.

    I love your poem! You have an amazing ability to make something as addicting as Pinterest sound like a HEALTHY addiction!

    What a great poem for a great website! I have to admit I have had to limit my addiction recently so that I can get things done! And now with all these blogs to read and blogs to write. Oh so much to do!

    You should share this with Jenny. Her most current blog post sounds like she has a similar love affair with Pinterest:)
