For the Sunday prompt word at the Ragtag Community where the word is cryptic, and
my first (double) Espinela form that was inspired by The Mouse. Thanks so much.

I love these personifications! Can’t believe it’s already October.
Masterpiece, this one! It’s like you took us to the coronation of October. Such brilliant personifications. Exquisite verses! 👌💕
Sam, I think it’s safe to say you liked this one. 😜 Yes, the coronation of October is correct. Thanks for the lovely comment. I appreciate you. 😁
I didn’t like it. I loved it! 😀
Sweet. xo
And oh, we decided to be pen pals, right? 😉 When do we begin?
Hiiiii 💕.
Go to that post. Find the Sign up link that will land you right where you want to be. I will never spam you. (A promise)
My letter comes into your inbox once-a-month but from that one— by hitting ‘reply’ we can talk endless times if you like. I love doing that.
No pressure… (if that’s tedious let me know and I’ll post it in comments) my pleasure.
Wonderful, Selma! You took the form and made it your own!
Glad it worked. Thanks for visiting (again) 💗
Coronation is right! At work that is. I like how you transcended the poem into October.
Paying homage to the months. I’m so pleased you liked that, Shell. Be well. Here’s a friendly hug…
The crowning of October!!!! Although you probably are not much familiar with the Durga puja festival (Woriship of Goddess Durga) of Bengalis in India, your words carried that vive perfectly, the vive of October!!! Autumn sky and the golden sun! In fact, today is the first day of ‘matriarchal fortnight’ as it is celebrated here with the prayers for the ancestors (in the holy river).
It’s still raining here, now and then, which is unusual, but felt the spirit through your poetry!
How cool is that!
And some think we’re not connected!? Ha! We are connected.
Happy celebrating. Here’s looking at you. 👏
It is cool✌
Well, I am going to celebrate this year in my room with my laptop and books! Exams chasing and so is my unbeatable procrastination😂
And also, I tried to share your bolg, ‘Chances are, you’re the reason for the celebration’ but I think its on your Medium page and I did not get it here, I loved the excerpt you shared!
Oh my. It was exposed on Medium first. Yes. But it’s on selmamartin blog as well. Let me: https://selmamartin.com/chances-are-youre-the-reason-for-the-celebration-encouragement-life/
Posted it here for ease.
Don’t worry about it, my sweets, it blessed one person (you) already and that’s all I hope to accomplish here.
Be well. I wish you miracles xoxo
Finally! I got to share this, check out😂
