Come take a walk with me to...



Lots of sights to see and many Avenues to peruse-

This is not a Birthday Celebration for my other half  PENMAN
who wanted something subtle, did not want all eyes
in his direction o-o
so
me being a tad quirky thought to tone it down, not make
a big hoopla about June 21st- (cough Birthday cough)

So in Light of the moment, my wheels churned, got stuck
but I said to self-
[ Self~ it is time to bring some variety into AP's living room...]

To appease Penman, bring a smile to his face~
Please verse without mentioning Birthday in the Poem.
This is a typical contest with not so typical prompts.
(Heck You can mention in the AC though)

Love is a many splendored broom that sweeps tears away.

Quote 2: Faith is steps of Light in the shadows of doubts.

Quote 3: Life doesn't suck because Life has no lips.

Quote 5: Truth is a schoolteacher, enlightenment the proof one learned the lessons.

Please credit Penman for Quote used-

***Note scribbled on sticky, placed on Your forehead:
Out of respect please not have Your piece in another contest simultaneous

to this one~ I would greatly Appreciate it!

Clear Your Mind- Step outside the box...
Look within and then spill some ink...

I'll inhale Your written words, allow the energy
to bring forth images 
...base decisions
on how the message makes me feel-

***If you reserve a spot-
for the love of everything Sacred,
please come back to finish.

Please mark piece appropriately....Adult etc...

Any questions please ask~
Most of all...Release!
