There is a man called "Joy"

There is a man called "Joy"

He is firm and unmoving, and shows up early to every event. He never takes a day off, but sometimes he is overlooked, but never discontent. People will sometimes not see Joy, even if they think they're looking. But, even when he's not part of the conversation, he waits there, calm and patiently observing. And when the time is right, he'll speak up to be seen again, ready to help people up and gently amend.

There is a woman called "Creativity"

She is gentle and comes and goes as she pleases. She is the type that's late, but brought brownies, already cut into pieces. People always like Creativity and hate when she's not there. But, even when she's not been seen in days, she's anything but scarce. Arriving with the same batch of brownies and a glowing smile, the world is made alright again in a brand new, beautiful style.

There is a boy called "Art"

He is unpredictable, like his mother, sometimes early, sometimes late. He is always waiting to be seen, one of his father's traits. People ignore Art sometimes, when they're busy or his mother's not around. Sometimes they hide him away, like they're afraid of him being found. Unlike either parent, he doesn't draw many eyes. But when seen for what he's become, he's always happy to be recognized.

Note: (you don't have to read my yap sesh, it's not super important, just a little insight for the reason of this writing)

I was going to write a story or a poem about this prompt, but I was struggling more than I thought I would. I realized the "Tiger Lily" prompt, in a way, is about friendship. That would explain why I struggled, as I had few friends in my life. Many of which that I once considered my friend, I would rather not talk to these days. Not for the awkwardness, but because they've become people that I would often avoid. As for the otger parts of this prompt… While I have lots of joy and fun in my life, there is not a lot of community that isn't online. Once again, while I love being creative and having a style, I haven't the chance to express myself until recently. However, all that being said, I do know the tiger lily as a flower often represents luck, wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. And for how much of the prompt that doesn'tcome easily, I can confidently say I am very fortuitous when it comes to my joy and creativity.
