Journal entry:
I created the following poem using the words from Rosemary Mint. The prompt words are in italics. You might visit that site and see what the words suggest to you.
Give Me Shelter
It is natural
To feel some serenity
Listening to rain
Drum on the roof overhead
In the midst of thunderstorms.
A sweet mixed serum,
Patchouli and sandalwood,
Delights the noses
Of café patrons drinking
Espresso, cozy and dry.
A rose in a vase
Alone adorns a table
Where a young hippie
Sips raspberry herbal tea
In a bright tie-dye sundress.
Where once opium
Was brought to market now stand
Karaoke bars
And gyms where yoga is used
To sculpt bodies lean and hard.
Times have really changed
In many parts of our town,
Now safer by far
For citizens seeking some
Shelter from a pop up storm.

I am grateful:
1. Other creative people make their ideas available on the internet.
2. We had gasoline to give Jeremy when he came down yesterday.
3. There was hot water for my shower.
4. Air conditioning makes these sweltering days bearable.
5. June is bringing pizza for supper.
I hope your Monday has been good. You can make it a better day by doing something creative. When you use your gifts it can make you much happier.
