Poem: "As One of Your Countrymen"

[ysabetwordsmith]

This poem came out of the February 4, 2014 Poetry Fishbowl.  It was inspired by prompts from janetmiles and baaing_tree.  It also fills the "storytelling" square in my 2-1-14 card for the Cotton Candy Bingo fest.  This poem has been sponsored by Anthony & Shirley Barrette.  It belongs to the series Clay of Life, which you can read via the Serial Poetry page.

Mmmmm. Today is a very good day. I have not only learnt something, but I have had a good story to go along, and the day is just begun.

Yay!

I'm glad I could help with that.

Beautiful.

The 'first and last task' concept really resonated with me. The work one does, if possible, by choice, without expecting pay, rounding out the day rather than making it hollow, using the skills and tools and space available...it might be a small task one undertakes, but it is an important one.
