Wild like The Wind Again Zéjel #dVerse #poetry
Taking a fantastical wild ride with the wind like I ‘used to’ in yester-years. Come ride with me, why don’t you, as together we explore this new Zéjel form that’s a Spanish form with lovely history: Arabic influence related to the Qasida and adopted by the Spanish troubadours of 15th century. Enjoy.

These Accumulated Months Still Have Plenty Of Value To Offer
Remember when we wished a Happy New Year to each other? That was nine months ago. How time flies. For the rest of the year, I pray that we remain grounded in the lessons we’ve learned already. May we use them to the best of our capabilities so that we can continue to grow. May the rest of the year be extraordinary.

At my local grocery story today, the buzz was on. I savored it. But then what I heard on the car radio zapped me back to the sad reality that the pandemic is still on. What sadness. Be safe everyone.

Do The Honorable Thing, Please – Day 5 – #NaPoWriMo
What a lovely prompt we worked on today. I chose a William Blake poem to follow and in no time, unpretentious little words swooshed in and inundated the page. Don't you just love it when that happens? I hope this poem is worth your time.

This Home Appliance Might be What you need to Ease House Dust
The state-of-the-art Powerball that my vacuum cleaner was never went underappreciated. It was my faithful companion for over a decade and a half-- with not a cough, not a hiccup to berate it for. I named her Allegri, and it did what her maker promised it’d do for me-- I saw a massive change in my son's health, gave me peace of mind, and saved me money on medical bills. Tell me, wouldn't you be grateful for something like this?

The Smell of Home is Etched in Memory
We're all unique and everything about us is extraordinary. Me: Soil, grass, coconuts, plantains; sky, sea, breeze — all soaked into me. What's your scent? I really want to know about the home that raised you.

Happiness IS not just one thing. Today, I invite you to think of happiness as a muscle. Apply that muscle-knowledge to enhance this message. If you’ve been exercising that muscle, then you already belong to the happy crowd. I commend you. I respect you. Happiness begins the moment you begin. It also keeps on growing the more you flex it. Nothing to lose. Read with an open mind.
