This week we are dipping our toes into the pool of OPPOSITES. Our challenge is all about “opposing forces” and the use of antithesis in our writing. You will need to use the two opposing words in your response – which can be poetry or prose.
Foremost, I need you to know this fact. I have never had sexual relations with…oh sorry, that was some other guy. I freely admit I have stalked a few ladies in my designer days but not to romance them, only to glean as much knowledge as I could from their incredible talents. Sadly this only led to a copyright disaster and now I am back at my initial job of cutting patterns.
Of course I could live in a cave I’d need a companion; I choose “Dave” He’s a bit crazy so we’d be just fine Because what’s his is his and what’s mine is mine.
I worked as a census taker in Texas and took my job seriously. I even had to accompany one of my crew to a backwoods home where we were greeted with scary dogs and a homeowner threatening us with his rifle. It seemed a typical drug den but I confronted the man and never backed down.

“My eyesight is perfectly fine, madam” as he sat the tray a good distance apart from her table setting.
“You know Wellesley, neither of us is getting any younger and certain youthful amenities slowly expire. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
At her urging, Wellesley donned his fairly new spectacles with a sigh of relief. Madam smiled.

First I would like to thank pensitivity 101 for continually providing the three things challenge. It’s always interesting and fun, lovely photos and no restrictive rules☺️
Instead would be welcome for my sister in Vermont where it is -10F at the moment. Luckily she has a wood stove for cozy warmth along with a regular furnace. My temp is 17F, a regular heatwave in comparison.
I was one of those little red headed pigtailed freckled kids who added them each day by playing outside as my favorite activity. I was very privileged to grow up on a dairy farm with two hundred acres containing green hills, beautiful fresh streams, and best of all woods—all of which I could roam free and safe. How wonderful is that?
