30 Days of Haiga 2022: Seeds of Me

 

Most afternoons during those bad old golden rule days, I slipped off in my mind to an enchanted world beyond the walls of the prison posing as a school. Knowing I would never be accepted by my peers and that my father and mother would always chide me to be better organized, I furrowed my brow and clutched tight to a vital metaphysical symbiosis between me and a group of people I had never met.

Their world was filled with singing. Mine was filled with the pain of knowing I would forever be the outsider. I was scolded for daydreaming when I should be listening to the lecture, but I refused to stop. Given the choice, what would you do?

When I look now, it makes me sad and angry that my dreams were considered weeds rather than seeds.

such a stupid girl

she can't do anything right

she’s just so simple

Thank you to Xenia Tran of D'Verse Poets for the Haibun Monday prompt. I didn't write a Haibun about September, but I did write a Haibun for the end of my 30 Days of Haiga in Sepbember.

Thank you to Brendan of Earthweal for the Ekphrasis prompt. Granted, the image I used isn't nature-related unless you count the unfortunate nature of human beings to ostracize those who are mostly harmless but don't quite play by the rules.

I created the Haiga using Pixlr.com

You are welcome to use the Haiga, but please credit Cara Hartley/Ornery Owl and provide a link back to this blog.

With that, the 30 Days of Haiga for 2022 marches away into the sunset, but I'll be back for OctPoWriMo. I'm a masochist like that.

Yeah, I know, it's early. 

But when you have a face like mine, every day is Halloween.
