Dashing through dust on the hoof
Six Word Saturday
Adele songs
“Hello”, uttered with familiarity as they newly embrace. “A woman like me watched the skyfall with you, making love in the dark, when we were young. We were strangers then. That is water under the bridge, so hold on, now. I have been the person rolling in the deep and I want to rekindle that passion, set fire to the rain, again, so all I ask is, take it easy on me.”

dVerse Poets – Aphorisms
“The soul is stronger than its surroundings.” – William James. Strength in adversity proves this.
Then this quote:
Delusion is useful to a degree. Looking in the window of the world to only see what you decide to admire or the opposite—feel revulsion for, the choice is really up to you. If only given lemons, make lemonade; also fits.

Such Sad News
“London (CNN) – Queen Elizabeth II, who has died age 96 after the longest reign in British history, will be mourned around the globe as one of the last monarchs born to a classic age of European royalty, when kings and queens wielded genuine political power.”
“Elizabeth’s death comes seven months after she marked the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne, yet another milestone achievement in the remarkable life of a queen who, though reluctantly thrust into the spotlight at a young age, won almost universal praise for her steadfast dedication to duty.”

Wind

tearing through empty spaces
tearing leaves from branches
tearing ribbons from girls’ hair
tearing blooms from lilies
tearing is not intended harm, it’s just the wind.

The Meeting
Pervading candle shadows cast a beautiful wavering glow over a lavender jacket, which hid her curves. This only entrenched the tee shirt wearing man’s ardor who was taking slow steps toward her. She stood as he slowly removed his shirt, tangential soothing words escaping his lips. She turned away as he carefully, seductively removed her blouse. There was not much of a variable in their speech from then on, only sounds of pleasure.

Sijo Wednesday- Persistence

persistence requires strength of will, and determination
roots trying to rise to the sun, through trampled concrete sidewalks
toddlers rising again and again to walk to their mothers
