Just love this, his needs are few, he's perfectly happy away from a complex, confusing, opinionated and dysfunctional world, doesn't want to be part of it. You've reached all of the literary objectives, and produced a great free verse, well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you for your review. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being ordinary. These people are the backbone of any society.

Congratulations on the 100 milestone post. That is a great accomplishment. I enjoyed reading this writing prompt entry. You used the suggested words nicely. I figure there are worst things than being an everyday man.

If you truly know who you are and are at peace with the person you are inside. You have found the secret to true peace and happiness. You must never bow to anyone else's decision of who you need to be. You are who you are and that must be good enough for everyone, none more important than you, yourself.

I really like this contest entry, there are a lot of ordinary men out there like you describe. You have done an excellent job of fleshing out your character, I felt like I knew him. Best of luck in this difficult contest. :)

If this is what makes one happy, who are we be to question him. I mean, happy is what happy does, and sometimes doing less is more, while at others it is all one needs to be satisfied at the end of the day.
As for a suggestion maybe tightening up the lines would be helpful, and if done upsizing the font a size or two.

    Amen, I agree. As for tightening the lines every time I tried the line would back space and jump to the line above. Ever since we got those extra font types everyone is having one problem or another. I can make the font size larger. Thanks for your review.

Congratulations on 100!! Impressive. This is cleverly written to be able to navigate each of these very different prompts. I like your character depiction of the everyday man and thought your writing brought him to life.
