The following list of words were “donated” by a Lady at one of the sims in SecondLife that I frequent and the poem I composed using them.

hypotenuse ~ mastermind ~ disadvantageous ~ mercurial ~ onomatopoeia ~ treacherous ~ discerning ~ droll ~ fey

A discerning smile
curls lips like silk
painted with tenderness.

Time taken to mastermind
the treacherous
she awaits his arrival.

It would be disadvantageous
of the creature to
keep her waiting.

Her mercurial blood would boil
the corners of her mouth
turn down .

A virtual onomatopoeia
she sizzled
her looks delicious to behold.

Her heart beneath the black
was glib and fey her sight
yet he would never know.

Droll she was
as she strung up the arrival
proving the theorem.

The hypotenuse of the boy
stretched to form triangle
between wall and floor.

I am guessing by now you all know how the 9 word challenge works. This is my latest.

Absolute ~ Present ~ Accounted ~ Front ~ Page ~ News ~ Deliberate ~ Choices ~ Today

“All present or accounted for”
rang across the parade ground.

Immaculate yet fearful
and deliberate
they stand today.

Choices made
that will change lives.

Absolute conviction
as oaths are sworn.

In six months time
their names may be
front page news.

Recently a new Butch-Femme forum based website opened. Angelika told me about it and I went and signed up. I was ecstatic to find that 9 word challenge poetry was there. This was my first contribution.

New ~ Beginnings ~ Explore ~ Heat ~ Fragile ~ Glass ~ Side ~ Up ~ Stack

As the May morning dawns
heat rises
like feathery tendrils
off the pavement
below.

A glass of chilled juice
sits on the tray
sentry to a stack of pancakes,
eggs with bacon
and your coffee.

New beginnings
for us both,
I smile
and kiss your shoulder
to wake you up.

Eyes flutter open
an almost childlike smile
lights your face
rolling on your side
you whisper “Good morning”.

Later as we explore
again in slow time
we both realize
that we are no longer
as fragile as we once were.

If anyone was to wonder what attracted me to Angelika, let me try and set your mind at ease in some small way.

There are many reasons and attributes that attracted me to her. Far too many to list, but suffice it to say, she is so very special … not only to me but I would like to hope … to everyone whose life she touches.

Angelika has blogged since before we met and when I found this out, I asked to be able to read some of her posts. Many were written about us, our meeting, the growth of our relationship, emotions and they were and still are private. She did promise that when she felt the time was right, she would open them up to me.

The following is the first to be shared, revealed … and it was given to me on a day, the anniversary of the start of yet another journey in my life.

Thank you Angelika, for this and much more … I love you.

The months from July to October are ones that have the ability to cause me to get lost within a multitude of thoughts. Some good, some bad but such is life.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and that means a lot to me.

I recently found “Facebook” and with it, several applications. One of them is called Farm Ville and it allows you to build a pixelated farm with animals and trees and crops that grow.

I found that it was possible not only to grow crops but also to create something and in honour of all those who are battling breast cancer or who sadly lost their battle, I created the following …
