Journal entry:
The Sunday Whirl provided the prompt for the following poem. The words in italics came from the wordle there. You might want to visit that site for inspirations.
Missed Opportunity
I saw your face through
A café window where you
Sought shelter from storm,
You sat beside a green fern
Near a sturdy cabinet.
You ate some peanuts
With everything happening
Round your position,
Your waitress did her tiresome
Job without anyone’s help.
I thought my guide would
Know how to handle problems,
But he occupied
Himself with the soccer score,
I would not recommend him.
I then abandoned
My tour for indoor comfort
Wanting to engage
You in conversation, but
I was too shy to approach.
When you got up to
Leave my tender heart broke in
Pieces, but I was
Too uncertain to delay
Your progress, I let you go.

I am grateful:
1. I decided to stay home today.
2. I slept in this morning.
3. I transferred the files I needed from AirSet to my computer.
4. I worked my way around a problem with InDesign.
5. I have the beginnings of the October Contest Winners page.
It has been a quiet Sunday for me. I hope you were able to get some rest and relaxation. If you have not already done so, please take a few moments to work creatively. I know it may seem time consuming, but I assure you the effort is worthwhile. No one can produce the work you can and it is a gift to the world.
As a prompt, use the phrase, “ You cannot always have what you want” in a poem, story, or journal entry. There are so many possibilities, just write. If you use this prompt, please leave a link to your work in the comments below.
