Life finds milder melodies.
Only laughter sings.
Virtue wipes away decay.
Even frowns grow wings.

Announcement I won second place in Story Seed Vault’s “Bees” flash fiction contest. I am grateful to the judges for selecting my 140-character micro fiction story.
Announcement I am a new board member of the Illinois State Poetry Society. Blogging provides inspiration and contact with other poets. Local organizations provide something similar on a more personal level.
I am a fan of micro fiction and short verses, the challenge to express feelings with a very limited number of words is hugely satisfying, nice post

Thank you, Piyali! I like short writing as well, just enough to understand or feel something new and then move on.

I agree, if we can clearly express what we want to say, then word count doesn’t matter 🙂

Frank, thank you for the “crumb” to follow you back to your place. I’ve seen you around my blog before. Don’t know why I was not following you, but I have corrected that by marking your follow. I’ll see you around more often now.
