Smooth as heavy silk
Spreading around you
Comforting warm, soft
No edges, corners or sharp seams
Any color you wish, possibly soft pink or golden brown
You wrap your mind and body with it
And even though it is only material,
It wards away doubt, hate, cold and indifference.

W3 Prompt #152: Wea’ve Written Weekly
Joy, so happily expressed in a full hot pink skirt
Dancing and swirling around my feet – soft shoes and pink socks move to the rhythm of a polka
Oompahs easily stepped to, all whirling as if the hot breeze itself sets the pace
Sunset approaching amplifies the happy hues, though shadows dare not yet appear
The day colors of joy and summer brights raising spirits subtly move aside allowing darker hues to creep into the sunset sky.

Poetics: Personifying The Abstract
Is there anyone out there that likes to wait?
Certainly not me and I offer complaint
Expecting a dull week with no activities 
I get a morning call with proclivities
An outing which I need and want
So I hurry, get ready for the jaunt
Then I receive a call, saying no hurry at all
Decided the timing would be slowed to a crawl.
So I’m sitting here waiting to hear when to leave
Waiting and waiting and waiting to receive
A text that will tell me…I have to believe
This trip, in what hour? will be achieved.

Supposed to be a triangle, with three levels to rule. Now it’s way out of range and they think we are fools. The circuit goes from wannabe king all through the levels and back to him. Is no one paying attention as our government is being dismantled?

Three Things Challenge #MM8
I thought it was a passing fancy
Kiss them, love them, go my way
That’s my attitude and I won’t change it
Anytime or special day
A new year’s kiss and a valentine
You won’t engrave on me, my life’s sublime
Until it’s not…

Quadrille #220 – Engrave your name across my heart
Everyone seems to pay by card these days. Cash isn’t even an option in some stores. When did we get so dependent on credit cards? My experience recently was with a bank card being denied and nothing to do except go to the bank and have them issue another. Of course all the bills I pay with the original card have to be called and given the new card details. It is irritating but we have no choice!

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
The trim on the shiny bowl started to lose its glimmer as I fell deeper into the trance. A sudden chain rattling woke me and I felt faint. The embers of a wild herb burning in the silver bowl calmed me. The moment of feeling free was gone and the reality of sorrow overwhelmed me again. The herbalist dipped more herbs on the embers and my mind was again saved from my daily lament. I was told not to choose this method of healing, but at least I have a few hours of peace.
