morning lingers like a
soft embrace waking me
slowly with long kisses,
my belly growling from desire
for delicious, hot, liquid sex…
dark coffee in a porcelain cup!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
….thinking I need a life! š
happy morning (to you)!

it can break a heart,
a single silly petal
that says, “loves me not…”

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge, prompt words: heart & petals.
quieted
if poetry was not a
thing, I would likely never
know how sweet it is
listen to the beautiful, deep
longing of my soul.

āIt was tradition after all,ā the teens told themselves, ākids have always climbed to the top of the old lighthouse to celebrate the end of school,Ā to set their dreams for the future,Ā written on small squares of paper, free to sail on the wind!
No matter that a fierce storm was fast approaching the inlet, so severe that even those who lived on higher, dry ground had already left the island seeking the safety of the mainland, tradition was tradition and Dream Night always happened on the first Monday after graduation, no exceptions.
So they ventured to the lighthouse, fearing that changing to another night might ruin the chances for their dreams to come true butĀ the wind whipped the waves into furious swells swallowing them all with their dreams still intact, clenched in their cold wet hands, as a dozen young people learned too late that sometimes tradition is meant to be broken.

A Three Line Tale for Sonya’s weekly challenge Three Line Tale for Sonya’s weekly challenge based on the photo above byĀ William Bout. Veering from tradition seems to be a theme for me when it comes to these three line story challenges. But hey, nothing wrong with that right?! I definitely makes life interesting.:)
In the field of linguistics, when two words are combined into one word, the resulting new word is called a āblend wordā or more specifically, as is the case with todayās Dictionary.com Word of the DayDictionary.com Word of the Day, a āportmanteauā. Wikipedia gives an excellent definition with examples for the word portmanteau:
A portmanteau wordĀ is aĀ linguisticĀ blend of words,Ā in which parts of multiple words, or theirĀ phonesĀ (sounds), and their meanings are combined into a new word. A portmanteau word fuses both the sounds and the meanings of its components, as inĀ smog, coined by blendingĀ smokeĀ andĀ fog, orĀ motel, fromĀ motorĀ andĀ hotel. Ā InĀ linguistics, a portmanteau is defined as a single morph that represents two or more morphemes. (InĀ linguistics, aĀ morphemeĀ is the smallest grammatical unit in a language. In other words, it is the smallest meaningful unit of a language. The field of study dedicated to morphemes is calledĀ morphology.)
āRollickā is thought to be the result of blending the words ārompā and āfrolickā, entering the English language around the early 1800ās.
Were the early 1800ās particularly rollick-worthy? My inquiring mind needed to know! So I launched google in a search of historical events of the 1800ās (or 19th century). Hereās what I found:
| Historical Event | Rollick Meter |
| Napolean worked on building his empire conquering Italy, Rome and Spain, as well as transforming France from a consulate to an empire, with you know who as its Emperor! | Mehā¦not so much a rollicking series of events ā¦unless of course, you were Napoleon! Was Napoleon known for rollicking? I wonderā¦:) |
| Alexander Hamilton was mortally wounded in a duel (yes, duels really happenedā¦ SMH) with Aaron Burr. | Not so rollicky for old Alexander, but a good day for Mr. Burr. |
| Alessandro Volta produces electricity! | Definitely a rollick-worthy event! Woo Hoo Al! |
| The Battle at Waterlooā¦bub-bye Napoleon! | Yes there was rollickingā¦lots and lots of rollicking! |
| Lewis and Clark launch their expedition. | Iām thinking they may have had a rollicking send off. |
| Washington DC was established as the capital of the U.S. | More rollickingā¦Iām certain of it. J |
| In Virginia, Martha Washington set all her slaves free. | ā¦and more. Midst the bad and usual ugly shenanigans we humans get involved inā¦there were definitely some bright spotsā¦most definitely, some rollicking to be had! |
This is why I love Fridays! Ā I learn so much! I hope you have a great weekend. Get out and rollickĀ a bit! See you next week!
To Rollick or Not to Rollick…
WhyĀ simply frolick
or just romp, for that matter,
when one can rollick!
