Morning sun
Highlights your auburn hair
Streaks of red mixed with gold brown compete
–
Daring words
Eyes remind of oceans
The blue green of the sea reflected
–
Golden sand
Your skin shines through with gold
Soft and warm and pleasing textures too
–
Lovely smile
Unafraid to spread wide
Reactions to simple affections

MTB: A Lover as second nature
our country used to be seemingly safe
where citizens against government stood
while innocent protests held didn’t chafe
and “official” men wore no masks or hoods
this is the state of our country, sadly
even children are suffering actions, badly

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – June 10, 2025
I chose number four, although it is still embarrassing, I think I’m the only one left that remembers it. We had a coal burning furnace in our house and a grate on the floor in the living room. Apparently, because I was a baby and have no memory of it, I carried my bedroom potty container into that room and dumped it on the grate. The worst thing about it was the pastor from church was in that room visiting with us.
😵💫😳😱🤯

WordPress drive-thru’s
Books, books, books
I have to take a look
Especially books like these
Leather bound, to appease
The smell of leather, olden pages
Full of some of the fond phrases
A trip to another world
As precious pages are unfurled
A treasure trove of adventure
The reader sent as the pen endures
A person who reads has knowledge
Can take on a new voyage
Reading is essential
To aid mental potential.

I can’t keep quiet anymore. This whole Los Angeles business is making me angry. Sending our neighbors and friends who are in the National Guard or Marines into the situation where they are put in the of quelling these riots that were started as peaceful protests until Trump decided to send troops in to stop these protests. That is extremely unlawful. He has no right to do that and go against the mayor of the city or the governor of the state. I was a teenager in the 60s and I saw this and it shocked me. We should be aware and keep this from happening again.
It was the worst of times and the worst of times…a shockingly bizarre happening when one of the richest, but worst examples of a leader became the United States president. I think some people who voted for him thought he had a sound platform and was a business mastermind. Of course his failed attempts and bankruptcies didn’t seem to matter. I guess they voted before looking into his losing, and liked his tv personality. 
“I’m the type of woman that if I want the moon, I’ll get it down myself.” —Frida Kahlo
strength in women seen
poetry can show power
freedom to explain
words not harbored in her thoughts

words extinguish you
using quote inserts aids sense
and understanding
Frida Kahlo used artforms
her clear artistry conveyed

I never say “let me be frank“
Don’t see any anxious to thank
My mouth’s not controlled
My statements too bold
And you can take that to the bank!
