Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Outcast

eccentric she was
socially awkward
somewhat paranoid
with bizarre twitches
not mixing in
an outcast 
of her own doing
a square peg
in a round hole
not fitting in

Sheri Fresonke Harper September 12, 2018 at 7:26 PM You capture the essence of being odd Line Gauthier September 12, 2018 at 9:27 PM Thanks, Sheri, for your lovely visit and comment.

M. L. Kiser September 12, 2018 at 4:22 AM Excellent imagery here; it's sad when anyone is excluded from the group, but especially when a child. Line Gauthier September 12, 2018 at 7:20 AM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, ML.

Mark Peterson September 11, 2018 at 9:30 PM Pity the eccentric and his torment for nothing more than being himself. Praise and pity in daily war. Your words are so precise and focused, leaving no other way out than precisely what you intended. Line Gauthier September 12, 2018 at 7:21 AM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Mark. Much appreciated.
