@only1elle There are times your poems strike a chord

Is she swinging on a two seat swing alone - collating, tracing beads of condensation on a glass of iced tea?

On the lawn, plucking dandelions beneath the pink?

On the beach counting memories?

I wondered

Poignant beautiful Artistry

@only1elle Fire escapes - reminded of hot nights, sipping something cool, listening to the city’s cacophony from my perch.

Perhaps it was kerfuffles …
Home.

Your meanderings reach into memory.
Wonderful

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@only1elle Ha! Sounds right!

Fanning oneself with a supermarket circular, nope, wouldn’t have hit the right note!

@only1elle ❤️

@only1elle I’m reminded of Ophelia…
What she might have been thinking…

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@only1elle Or into soup…

@melostrom Seeing Mocha eases me into Monday morning shenanigans!

Thanks as always, Melissa for sharing!

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@melostrom @jeff__harvey If I may say honestly, things have been a bit dicey lately, and I came specifically to find Mocha for a dose of morning cheer - thank you as always for sharing Melissa …

And I’ll make it a point to catch up with Jeff’s novella.

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@melostrom Seeing Mocha be Mocha, cheers me!

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@melostrom Yeah … this has been something in the making for quite an ages! I’m really happy with them!

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@CDanaherH @PoetsonThursday If the spirit moves me, and I find the courage perhaps I will… Thank you, Carrie!

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@CDanaherH @PoetsonThursday It was my pleasure… and thank you for the encouragement!

I think it’s the first time I’ve ever done one of these! Yikes!

Since I’m such a fan of ellipses, as you can see here, I was compelled!

…

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@PoetsonThursday @CDanaherH Thank you thank you!!!
The notions came to mind and I rushed to write it!

[V. X. Carlo @VXCarlo]

@MaureenLangloss It was my pleasure, truly - and I will.
And thank you.

In truth, whatever kindness, whatever wisdom, whatever strength, whatever power I have to influence for the good comes from the example and by the influence of the woman that reared me…

@Yankees @STIHLUSA From my perspective…
If you zoom in, you can see the ball in flight -
“just above” what appears to be at the 1 o’clock position of the first base umpires head…

It’s not of course “above his head” - but in the foreground.

Great day!
