Journal entry:
Beginner’s Earning
Working summers made
Money for things I could not
Afford otherwise.
My first job was not easy
Helping my Dad mechanic.
I learned to drive trucks,
Backhoes, earth movers, loaders,
And to weld a line.
Not a girl’s occupation,
But I loved the huge challenge.
I was so happy,
The responsibility
Helped fulfill my needs.
Muscles and mind together
Were schooled to accomplish much.
The sun cooked me
To a well-seasoned deep tan
Bleaching my hair gold.
The dirt and grease clung to me
Making bathwater run brown.
In my later years
I greatly appreciate
The many hours I spent
Learning to work with my hands;
Helping my Dad mechanic.

The 2012 Poet’s Market… it is not just for seeking places to publish work. There are many informative features and a large section of prompts. It is an asset for anyone who writes poetry.
Watercolor Teddy Bear…
Colored pencil Rose…
I am grateful:
1. I found prompts to help me write poems during May.
2. I am finishing my blog entry incredibly early.
3. I have fond memories of the summers of my youth.
4. I have learned that forgiving someone helps me live more productively.
5. I have overcome much adversity to become the person I am today.
I hope your Tuesday has brought you many smiles. I wrote a poem, and you can surely do something creative if you will just begin it. I have absolute faith in your ability, because I know God endowed you as well as me.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you found something you enjoyed. If so, please leave me a comment and follow Chronicles. Your comments let me know what is succeeding and what I can improve.
Always,
Jo Ann
