A somewhat biographical story start:
Today’s poem was inspired by the prompt on Poetic Asides which is a Writer’s Digest Editor blog.
Common Pleasures
It is the small things
That enliven every day
Bringing happiness:
The curve of a smile gracing
The face of someone you love,
The gentlest touch
Comforting in its kindness,
The encouraging
Words that move you to action
That you thought impossible,
The furry embrace
Of a beloved pet who
Crawls into your lap,
And the sight of something you
Consider so beautiful.
These and the many
Other things that touch your life
With their plain sweetness
Make daily living worthwhile,
Enriching like a treasure.

A very good book I am dipping into along the way…
This is a very interesting volume…
I love this mug… it is Mom’s.
Common barnyard fowl make great decoration…
I am grateful:
1. Our mammogram results were good.
2. The air conditioner helps keep us cool.
3. The thunderstorms last night caused no damage.
4. Electricity makes life more enjoyable.
5. Photographs capture moments in time.
Wednesday is the middle of the week, hopefully your day was rewarding. There is no reason you cannot do something creative. You have the talent within you. The tools can be as simple as a pen and paper. Make no excuses, just do it, and expand your happiness.
I would love to have your comments, please leave one.
Always,
Jo Ann
