Joy poem

My latest joy class ended a couple days ago. Sparked by one of the prompts I hadn't gotten to yet, I created this found poem tonight out of phrases I cut from magazines. Totally tooting my own horn, but I'm just so pleased with how it came out and I thought I'd share. Still working out the punctuation! All but three words are snipped from magazine pages. These poems are so fun to do!!


Start something.
Find the right mood.
Shift the way you move.
Taste it all.
Discover that something
that makes all the difference.
Inspired
Passionate
Original
Different
Hear what you've been missing:
Wonders,
Pretty Stars,
Pure joy,
Support and companionship,
Simplicity,
Cherry goodness,
Hopes and Dreams,
and Music.

Feel what the morning brings
Easy (Sunday) mornings
gently enticed from their fluffy comforters
Brighter and bolder than ever
for every shade of you.

Shine without the guilt.
rise higher.
live better.
live consciously.
content.
Take back your freedom
righting the ship.

Be inspired.
have great morning dreams
full of wanderlust.
find your true north.
let curiosity be your compass.
find directions anywhere.

make beloved, quixotic, positive friends.
start at the heart.
send and receive joy with ease.
be effervescent.
hard to resist.
one unique cookie.
just the right amount of wrong.
& so much more...

As my joy teacher would say --self care like woah! ;)

And now I should do something about the fact that I came to bed an hour and a half ago to try and have an early bedtime. Oops!

This seems to be my week for writing. Poem last night, and today is my posting day for my Lewis fic(let). Actually I had a hard time sleeping last night thinking and feeling how powerful and fun making that poem was. Thinking about blogging more regularly (ugh how many blogs have I started and then abandoned??!!) But anyway, before work gets nutsy...
