I admired your minimalist style and your capturing the emotional conflict. Your bits of alliteration added to the intensity. Literal cheers- Joan, from the Faroe Islands

I could have used it Friday - that's when I was making the decision - did the bike ride instead - wasn't sick the next day at least - lol. Thanks so much.

Hi Teresa,

This is a nice little poem pointing hour how days can change and will not be as good as we'd like. But when we wait awhile we'll find a day that was better than the other. I really like the picture you used too.

We've all had those days, Teresa!

A great pic to add a sprinkling of je ne sais quoi to your poem.

There's a sense of lightheartedness, the dreary subject notwithstanding. :)

Long time no see, dear. Hope all's well at your end.

Love,

Sonali xxx

Hi Sonali - you changed your name? Thanks so much for the great review:)

reply by Selina Stambi on 04-Aug-2015

Yes, a new profile name, a play on my real name. It's confusing folks, unfortunately!

I think I join you in choice...the both can be extremely bad for your health...especially if not wearing a crash helmet.
A nice bit of humor...great image.
Best wishes,
RG

I always wear a helmet and never drink and ride (seldom drink at all so I chose the bike:) Thanks RG.

Sometimes a little ride can do more than a bottle. I've done both, I used to prefer the bottle, it was quick and easy, and everything disappeared quick, unfortunately I also ended up getting into trouble, lol.
