I looked up FLAW in the thesaurus and liked the world FOIBLE. I clicked it and the definition had an example (an all-too-human foible.). I’ve always liked the word foible. I just like the way it sounds. That’s a big part of why I like poetry, the way you can use the sounds of words to help create or convey a step above what the words themselves alone mean.

It’s the painting pictures with words you’ve heard about so often.

It’s not just “The blue sky spreads her shawl over her twin, the ocean, protecting her from death by the Sun’s kiss.”

It’s “The vault of heaven lowers its cerulean veil with each day’s end, to reveal treasures beyond.”

It’s “The celestial sphere shimmers like sapphires with each passing moment.”

Why didn’t I use foible in these examples? That would be helping. Me? Help? Never… MUahahahahhaahaha. (That’s my maniacal laugh.)

Please Read. I do this challenge for a few reasons two of them are:

1. To give prompts for all types of writers that make it easy for them to have a go-to place each week in addition to their other spots.
2. To give those honoring my challenge with their efforts a few extra visitors each week to find their blogs and read their poems. I’ve seen the increase in the likes on their poems increase to amazing numbers over the 6+ years this weekly challenge has been running without interruption.
3. To create friendships between people from all over the world. And that has happened and I am so happy to see those bongs grow strong.

But, some don’t receive the visits I would like for them to have. I think it’s mostly due to when the poems are written. As we all know, the beginning of the week is the hot time for blogging. So, if you can keep it in mind to come back and visit some of those poets, I would appreciate it. You can click like, if you like it, leave a comment if you’re inspired to. I sometimes just comment with a reaction, a haiku of my on in response to there, or a simple “Nice. I like it.” but I only say that if I think it’s “nice” and “I like it”. But if I don’t say anything, that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s nice. 🙂 Sometimes I’m at a low ebb of energy with all this Chronic Fatigue along with the allergic to heat… and I live near Atlanta, GA. Just imagine… CF+HeatAllergy+Atlanta=MeltingRonovan
