Quoted in the Grove:
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” ~Dr. Seuss
“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” ~Marilyn Monroe
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. ~Oscar Wilde

Posted from the Grove:
Arriving late, I missed whatever folly found itself in our grove Thursday past before we were set to our 30 minute Impromptu pieces.
The tide has gone out, taking with it VirtualJester’s ‘The Thought Tree’ build.
To the north, thx brings us a Kilroy of greetings sprinkled with vibrant flowers and a welcoming bench ‘neath a shading of trees.
The ever changing of our Grove is one of our constants.

Library Table: No new drops
No new offers on the Prewritten bench. Perhaps it waits for you.
This week’s words for Word Games (11/4) are: speechless, joke.

Impromptu: Bad Hair Day
~Stejovis: A play on words on the bindings of two Haiku and Four Doggerel Quatrains in Trochaic Tetrameter (If you can say that three times fast you’ve earned a boon!!) Of rabbits and brows, bounds and perspiration, the formula brews up some fun. Fluff it all with some ruffled feathers and we’ve quite the mix of a Bad Hair Day.
~Jessalee: We are transported into the heavy competition of the elite. Dogs that is 😉 Painstaking care and nail-biting waits, culminates in a shih tzu of a ruined hairdo, or two.
~AidenScott: Fixation breeds…fixation. A momentary lapse in the freedom that can only be found in nature, and the tormenting imprisonment of sameness and routine, trapped in our own blinded mirror.
~BarTalk: Choices. So much in such a simple word. A world of difference in a single choice. Do we reflect those around us or are we reflected in them? An eternity of ‘bad hair days’ plays out from one clear cut choice.
~Greenie: More than a storm brews here. Locks that have a life of their own, swirl and curl, and bind the two as one.

Writers in Residence:
~Gate; Brought to us by Kangaroo- Where we all become both past and future.
~Whitefeather: “I’d give up forever to touch you”
A small collection on yearnings. Drawing from deeply within my being. Heated tears, well…
~Stejovis: For Contemplation– Haiku, simple truths, beautiful in the sparsity of words.
Etudes– Fully formed images, painted with only a few strokes.
~GaryBob- Narcissus Moon– Transfixed and bedazzled, a young man loses more than foresight.
I lose time as I test time while I waste time at hand. A book in an hourglass keeps me just out of reach of the answers I sought at the Fortune Teller’s Table.
