WELCOME

This is my blog (now there is a surprise!). I will be sticking in it poetry, prose, random musings, things that take my fancy and more than likely lots of pictures of cats. I hope you find something to amuse and/or interest you here.

Dodges prompt: - Today's Prompt is FINISH THIS LINE



Today's line is...AS I STARE AT MY REFLECTION
The rules are you must use this as your first line as it is , with no changes. You may use prose or any form of poetry...

AS I STARE AT MY REFLECTION
I wonder why I look this way
In a world seeking perfection
I am a very wayward stray.
If I wore contact lenses and
Had the perfect wig made for me?
Threaded my eyebrows strand by strand;
Became as skinny as can be,
What would the big change really mean?
That I was a quite respectable?
That I was now fit to be seen?
That I was now collectable?

    The only reflection that counts is whether or not you like the person stareing back from the glass.For in it you see all the good and the imperfections that reside in you. Great poem as usual penny, I will miss your writing these next few weeks. Take care lovely lady.
