Making friends is often the key, isn't it? Thanks for taking part in Poetry Jam. Hope to see you again.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mary... making friends is the key :)
DeleteIsn't that what we try to do here too, by sharing our poems and thoughts...
It is sometimes hard to feel you will fit in. Eventually most kids do, don't they? Welcome to Poetry Jam!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gabriella.
DeleteMost kids do fit in... it's just that for some the effort from the parents' side has to be monumental...
I really like the direction you went with the challenge ... different, intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen. This was actually the first thing I thought of.
DeleteWhen I think of school, I think of my kids' going to school :)
It's a funny feeling when your child finally gets adjusted and "stays in there" having made friends finally....sweet letting go.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Donna. Thanks for reading and for commenting :)

DeleteThe friends we make early in life may shape our personality and they are often the ones we always go back to. However, it is difficult to reach out that first time...
ReplyDeleteSuch a struggle it is to fit into the ways of life... Thanks for reading and commenting, Nicholas :)
