things
that make me mad:
rainy
Mondays, computer glitches
and political scandals
things
that make me happy:
hugging
my parents, watching movies
and
vanilla iced lattes
the
happiness gets me through the day
- Written for dVerse Poetics: What colour is hope?

Thank you Gillena.
DeleteI think that "happiness" would be enough, we have ice cream every night, watch the late news, and then go to bed.
ReplyDelete(Of course also, I take medicine, make coffee ready for morning turn on, and make sure the house is locked so I can turn the alarm on.)

Haha. Thank you Jim.

DeleteSuch a well-crafted piece. Bravo! 👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
DeleteI love the way you packed so much into your sevenling, Maria, mad and happy! Computer glitches are a pet hate of mine and I would love to be able to hug my parents again.

DeleteHappiness should always get us through the day! Love how you emphasized the joys by contrasting them with annoyances.
ReplyDeleteWell said. Thank you.
DeleteHow privileged when you can still do all the three Arcadia. We oldies are now parents or grandparents waiting for the hugs!

Thank you Hank.
DeleteI am so with you on all of these, Arcadia! And, funny enough, the prompt also led me to a sevenling - and to both the good and the bad!
