Day 2 of octpowrimo.
Why don't you have a go. It would be lovely to see your words.
Going for an acrostic as I found the prompt, Changeling, a bit hard. I was thinking of my boy, who has ADHD and didn't "fit" societal expectations.
Changeling
Child with extraordinary powers, not understood by those who
Have preconceived ideas of a normal sort of life, a life that fits their comfort,
A life that doesn't veer from the road, the wide path everyone knows
No, they cannot see the magic in the manifestations of this dear creature's
Great adventure, where anything is possible and no limits exist, where
Everything is taken and explored and exploded and enthused over,
Larger than the life he's been given, he
Is the inventor most magnificent, the
Nobleman in his own country, encountering all with joy
Going at the speed of light, no, not understood
I feel these words specifically:
ReplyDeleteEverything is taken and explored and exploded and enthused over,
Larger than the life he's been given
Beautiful write!
Thank you Angela. Didn't come out too bad considering I had no idea what to write.
DeleteThe changeling makes me think of Odo on Star Trek.
ReplyDeleteHow is your son doing now?
He's doing very well thank you, Sandi. I did have to teach him at home for three years though.
DeleteSome children do not fit the preconcieved ideas, they make me smile the most.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. This one son has always been a bundle of fun, his energies brightening up anywhere he was.
DeleteSuch a sweet understanding of a life with differences. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Morgan. It was just as it is really.
DeleteThese children are super heroes! You have done right by them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol
DeleteAll my children are different with their own unique gifts and talents.
