Tinker Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 When I was a kid and I'd complain about being bored, my Mom's response was "Only boring people are bored. Look around, use your mind, there's adventure everywhere." Then of course, I'd roll my eyes and go off in my funk but her words have always stuck with me. Even in today's shelter in place malaise, I can hear her voice.Awareness makes me whole,it gives each moment purpose.It's the potter that shapes the bowlto be filled with my next opus. ~~Judi Van Gorder Prompt: pottery Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use your imagination! It's exciting to see the word "opus" used in a poem.

Tinker Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yes I had a smart Mom..... and I know, I was really excited to see I could use "opus". Doesn't take much to please me. 😂 ~~Judi 1 Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
