ode to salt—my choice
spices strong may be your taste
used canisters mold
sampled in recipes past
salt is the champion spice

A delightful change from spies and war, and I now know it’s possible to fall in love with an octopus❤️
“I could just scream!” Sue was beyond couth and had to enact the loud protest as she once again read the news. Every day it seemed to radiate hate and lies. There was no attempt by the justice department to hinder these ridiculous outbursts from elected officials.
“It’s a provision of free speech” her brother replied, quietly sipping his morning coffee ignoring her tirade.
“Free speech my a—! I can’t even believe you are my relation!”

I thought his address was in this old address book but I can’t find it. I know he’s the one who sent the flowers. I could try and write him one more time to say back off, I’m not interested, but that would be pretty rude.

Today, let’s write a haibun that references Mezza Luna, or half-moon, however you perceive it. For those new to haibun, the form consists of one to a few paragraphs of prose—usually written in the present tense—that evoke an experience and are often non-fictional/autobiographical. They may be preceded or followed by one or more haiku—nature-based, using a seasonal image—that complement without directly repeating what the prose stated.
New to dVerse? Here’s what you do:

Writings based on phases of the moon intrigue as each one seems a story in its own. Might we ever conquer our curiosity and live in the moon’s atmosphere? Many books have been telling tales we will someday. Until then we stay curious about this satellite.

An Alternative Love Song from your 50’s (if you are younger, choose your own)
The marine warm air pressure was only temporary but Joe was going to take advantage of it. His friend Mike tried to restrain this decision but his conversation was inadequate and failed to deter Joe from going out on the water. Sailing even a small craft was not like you see on a postcard at a resort. In a blink of an eye you may encounter a chain of events that even the most experienced sailors couldn’t handle. Joe was determined and hauled up the arrow shaped anchor and pushed out into the open sea.

Prompt is choose your own.
Maybe I remember it wrongly but I always thought both men sang the original song but I can’t find it anywhere. I especially liked the contrast of the very low and very high voices in the original.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield started out as members of The Paramours. In 1962, the two decided to leave the five-member group to form a duo. They found their name at a show with the Paramours when a fan shouted, “That was righteous, brothers!”
