Journal entry:
I missed yesterday’s prompt on Poetic Asides, but I wrote my answer this evening…
In The Company Of Misfits
We do not belong,
We are a bit different,
We are not well liked,
Even in the presence of
Each other we are awkward.
You might like to make
Us feel at home, but we are
Not quite assuaged by
Your sweet words or actions, we
Look askance at such efforts.
We might have once been
Focus of evil bullies
And we remember
How we were badly abused,
Now we are shy of friendship.
We are the misfits
Who sit outside the spotlight,
Hardly moving close
Enough for anyone to
Become acquainted with us.
Yet there is hope for
Us because we are full of
Imagination
And creativity lives
Within our hearts, minds, and souls.

I am grateful:
1. I woke up this morning.
2. There were Oreo cookies for breakfast.
3. The note application on my Droid worked well as my shopping list.
4. My trip to town went safely.
5. Some books I ordered came from Amazon yesterday.
This has not been a very good Thursday for me, but I hope your day was much better. Even though I am a bit down I took time to work creatively and so should you. No matter what the day is like creative work can lift the spirits and make things more worthwhile. I urge you to make an effort.
As a prompt, write about your position in society. You may think yourself well placed, or perhaps you are an outcast, tell us about it. If you use this prompt, please leave a link to your work in the comments below.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I would appreciate your comments and your following Chronicles.
Always,
Jo Ann
