THREE TERCETS
Her cloud of vague apologies
fell silently as salt on snow
and thawed his frozen heart.
_____
Heard through lath and plaster walls
unfounded rumours loosed the tongues
and held monopolistic sway.
______
Her worries dispersed
like loathsome spirits
in unsummoned dreams.

totally tops, I'd say. wonderful wording you have used and performed it well. it's lush to read, too, keep them coming.
So kind - really appreciate your encouragement. Thanks Kevin.
Three super writes Michael.
Like the artwork as well Mr Pollock.
Thanks Andy - yes very Pollockesque but rather than dripped it was applied with wire wool.
Fine Tercy-wotsits and pic Michael. Someone playing Monopoly in the second one?! lol.
Could be Orchi
Thankfully I wrote:
HEARD through lath and plaster walls
and not:
HEAD through lath and plaster walls .
Those people in the world who monopolise. Are they playing Monopoly then? It's been update - you can buy skyscrapers now as well! I used to play it avidly, now it becomes a bit boring and tiresome to me after a while.
If I played I think I'd buy a yurt and escape from it all - I'm not a team player at all - I get so frustrated by others who waffle on and get in the way.
,Michael. 3 for a nickel you can't beat the price or the art very clever...ww
Cheers Willy
EXCELLENT tercets, Michael, along with your great artwork! You never fail us. Always at the top of your game!
well I do keep trying - thanks so much Laura
I love that your ideas are always so varied! Three great little vignettes!
It all comes from a mixed up brain 🙂 Thanks Lorna - I much appreciate your support.
Crazy mixed up kid............
THANKS MICHAEL ~ Loved all the TERCETS and the VISUAL ! How did you know my windscreen had been shattered by a flow lying BIRD ? Please check my Tribute to Stephen Hawking ~ Yours BRIAN
It was an Oozlum bird - flies backwards and s+++s through its beak 🙂 Thanks Brian
