Today is the final day of Just Jot It January brain child of LindaGHill‘s blog. I am a little sad I will miss the imputus of having to post. I have had a sinus and chest infection for 12 days now and having started antibiotics yesterday I have developed nasty side affects. Joint pains and weakness. So it is published or pass out! I am not moaning (well not too much) what I am saying I am duty bound to do Day 31 of #jusjojan.
The Just Jot It January 31st prompt, brought to you by Lorraine of My Frilly Freudian Slip, is: “Detritus.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Lorraine as well! Here’s her blog: https://myfrillyfreudianslip.wordpress.com/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Detritus: Acrostic Poem
Discarded and unwanted
Evicted from society not needed
Torn from comfort and home
Rent from parents left here alone
In fear they huddle, clinging
Together loneliness like pain stinging
Unloved, unwanted Detritus
Strewn upon life’s darker shore.

Hope you feel better. Your poem is so poignant and all too relevant. Thanks for using my difficult word. I think of detritus as what we shed — emotions, lovers, personas. Society sheds so much more . . .

Hi Lorraine, it was an excellent Prompt to end the month on. I am feeling low so did not want to venture into the personal. It appears though I still managed to go dark. I do enjoy your posts too very much. Keep well xx

Dark is okay. Especially when you aren’t well, and neither is the world.

Yes we are in a terribly mess, the world and I . I hope to get better, I am not so sure about the world. xxx
