Journal entry:
Today, I did not feel comfortable with the prompt at Poetic Asides, so I went instead to The Sunday Whirl. I know it is a bit late to use that prompt, but I hope I will be forgiven my tardiness. The words in italics are from the wordle. Visit either of these sites for a dose of inspiration.
Miscreant
The scent of silence
Held sway at the disturbed end
Of her sentences,
The audience fell stark still
At sight of her in a heap.
She skimmed the pages
Of her unscripted life for
Some fleck of meaning
But it all seemed a load of
Unmitigated trouble.
Did no balm exist
For the soul of an exile
Lost within a world
Holding no place for one who
Was so very different.
Perhaps walking on
Stage with these sycophants who
Mindlessly follow
The trends of society
Was completely a mistake.
She belatedly
Remembers you cannot choose
Where you enter life,
But you have total control
Of how you choose to live it.

I am grateful:
1. I am free to rest and recuperate.
2. I have plenty of books to entertain me.
3. We have food on hand so I do not have to go shopping.
4. We have electricity to keep us comfortable.
5. We have clean running water.
Wednesday is midweek, I hope yours was pleasant. I want you to use your great imagination to create something wonderful. Share your talent with the world.
As a prompt, write about snow. Maybe you live where it happens often, maybe you rarely see it, either way, write about it in a poem, story, or journal entry. If you use this prompt, please leave a link to your work in the comments below.
