Sylvia Plath - Short Story Challenge and Word Search Puzzle  

Sylvia Plath Quote in Poster

Life was not to 

be sitting in hot 

amorphic leisure

in my backyard 

idly writing or not 

writing, as the 

spirit moved me.  

It was, instead, 

running madly

 in a crowded 

schedule, in a 

squirrel cage 

of busy people.  

Working, living, 

dancing, 

dreaming, talking, 

kissing, singing, 

laughing, learning. 

 -Sylvia Plath
