Style

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “The Clothes (May) Make the (Wo)man.”

I have four sets of clothes:
Casual summer
Work summer
Casual winter
Work winter

I wear a lot of skirts and styled dresses. Heels to work and flats at home.

This is what I wore yesterday. I felt so good I took a selfie (lol, tmi!) 🙂 spotty dotty black teeny weeny polka dots. With designer boots 😉

Today I’m wearing an LBD (little black dress) with a purple pendant tied with ribbons.

Window into my world!

Writing on Demand

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Land of Confusion.”

I am doing a writing course. But I have not been able to write anything!
When I am asked to write something for an assignment, I cannot. There are simply no words. Blank space. Vapor. At the moment we are workshopping around the room and I have nothing. Nothing at all! I cannot write on demand.

Pretence

Is my smile too wide
Is my laugh too loud
Am I too happy?

If I smile and wave
And I call your name
Will I reveal myself?

If I smile and blush
And speak out loud
Will my feelings show?

Should I just be still
Or if I look your way
Will it be a stare?

Am I too happy?

Smile!

Flowers for a smile
Flowers for a while
Hold on tight
Enjoy their light
Inhale their scent
Smile and be content
Feel happy for the day
And life might go your way

Hiding

I saw you and wanted to say hello
But instead I looked the other way

I longed for you to greet me by name
But all we did was pass each other by

Intensity

May 12, 2015Vonita 12 Comments

Heat like a burning iron
Seared through my heart
Scorching the soft flesh –
The intensity of which
Left me begging for mercy
My unwiped tears left to
Dry themselves away

It has been suggested that I am “too intense”
I have no idea how to be less intense
And whether I should even try
But I guess being less intense could be more fun
How does one go about being less intense?
