Silver considered not like gold, to be inferior somehow…who has made this decision?

necklaces in gold

often over silver base

gold plate desired

vermeil disguising silver

liking gold, not silver’s shine

Haibun Monday 8-4-25: Silver

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Would you like to relive parts of your childhood? Possibly, playing in the brooks and forest, sliding down a snowy hill on a piece of cardboard, riding a horse. Too many to count!
2.  Did you believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy? Definitely🥳
3.  Was there a childhood habit you never grew out of? Opening my mouth before my brain engaged.
4.   Were you part of a large family or an only child? I was the youngest of four sisters, and we all lived with grandparents too.

Gratitude: We’ll it rained and hailed here, loud booming thunder and the hail broke a fence and windows, pummeled my granddaughter’s beloved pickup-all while the fam was gone to CO. I am grateful no one was hurt but a great deal of costly damage to their home. This is a video I took from my apartment door, nothing like downtown damage.

Share Your World 4th August 2025

Once upon a time there was a princess named Sara. She adjusted her bodice and curls, with the new shorter hairdo. She was usually demure but today she was not hiding her passion for the gentleman caller. Her first meeting with Charles was brief but surprised Sara, and changed her mind of what she thought about fast relationships. In the garden she made sure the holly arbor framed her well as she paused shyly. Charles fell for her coy smiling act and they lived happily for a while.

Joe trying to strengthen his mind

The lightness so bright he was blind

Realized his mistake

Took the bulb from his pate

Kept the brain he first was assigned.

August Visual Poetry Prompt

Joe never thought about love much

He knew he enjoyed his wife’s touch

She would make him swoon

Even before noon

That’s why he enjoyed his late lunch.

What do you see # 300- 4th August, 2025

As an actor his talent was sparse

He could be good in a farce

There he didn’t receive ridicule

Audiences weren’t that cruel

Comedy was his dream

But he was never as good as he seemed.

The siren’s souvenir, cracks on my cabin window, to give me a warning. My ears still ring and the sting of her tendrils seen on my arm, show evidence of her touch. I never believed the old sailors’ stories, but now I know. I was lucky to sail free from her dangerous waves.

is this the road less taken

longing to be seen

obscure clouds hold mystery

driving over the smoothness
