red is the color of passion

yearning for passion 

pouting petals come alive

lips red with desire

After yesterday’s dark contribution (red decay) I thought I’d offer a slightly less depressing piece. Visit dVerse Poets for details about their Seeing Red Challenge and to read other great pieces.

Thanks to Putting My Feet in the Dirt for giving me the perfect prompt (pouting petals) for this second chance.

dressing for success

Tina Stewart Brakebill

Seeking continuity during this crisis, Sue was determined to continue to “dress for success.” This madness lasted only until she discovered the true joy of not wearing a bra. Now, success has a new meaning.

Thanks to  Sammi’s Scribbles for the challenge to write about “continuity” in 35 words.

The Head Beside Me

Tina Stewart Brakebill

I’ve been taking a sculpture class (read more about that at Great Cheeks! ) and before the world collapsed and it got canceled I managed to get my first piece fired. I brought it home and on Friday I “bronzed” it (using acrylic paints ) as part of our first pandemic-sponsored-at-home-art-day.

Behold it in all its glory as it sits beside me.

And stares.  

And stares some more.

He never blinks. Always he stares.

And that is not at all unnerving ….

Really. Seriously it’s not at all.

But … if he starts talking …

Thanks to Linda’s SoCS challenge for giving me an excuse to write about what’s beside me!
