Foolproofed - 3. Week 2

That was a nice twist in Day 11 😆 Day 10 also made me laugh (horrible horrible). And that first bite of a ripe strawberry definitely wipes winter away, doesn’t it?

These were well done and great to read. Lovely work. 

Day 13 is my favourite 

So much to savor in this set, like the strawberries you write about in Day 14. I was drawn to Day 11, and the story it succinctly told. Day 12 resonated with me, for new worlds are irresistible. Day 13 swept me up in its impetuous declarations. Thanks for all of these. 

Day 9--been there

Day 10-- oh God... been there

Day 11-- Oh dear Lord... been there--felt the electricity... if only

Day 12--been there... words are magic, thought or spoken

Day 13--BEEN THERE! Beautiful... I miss my temple

Day 14--been there. I have a special memory of strawberries... and yes, it's cliche.  

The first one fried my tired brain, but got me ready for the following wonderful poems... good job again, Adi. Cheers!

It's hard for me to pick a favorite out of these.  I love the strawberry poem and the letters building into universes.  Love as a temple made me smile.  My house hadn't been redecorated since at least the '70s when I moved in, so I relate to the lime green tile lol  Great job, Wolfie  

Thank you, Val. Did you find lime green tiles ?

Strawberries have always been the epitome of not-winter to me, even in times where we can get any fruit at any time, imported from warmer countries. 

I'm happy you found things to savor  in my poems, enjoyment is a very  important part of life IMHO.

No lime green, thank goodness, but a pink bathtub and orange linoleum floor in the kitchen and bathroom  

Day 11... There are still conversations about that one time. Lol Loved day 12 and 14. Your food poems are always just so delicious.  

Thanks, Adi

Can you keep a secret? I love writing food poems. One day I'm going to write a whole set.

The one that delighted me the most was the strawberry poem.  Before genetically altered fruits and burning my taste buds by smoking as a youth, I loved to savor the first strawberry each spring.  Your poem was an emotional high for me, Aditus! I also enjoyed the others very much.

Did you watch Lord of the Rings? I love the part where Sam talks about the Shire and eating strawberries with cream when Frodo was ready to give up.

Yes I do remember, and the scene brought tears to my eyes.  I loved Sam's last line as he picks Frodo up.
