“Go! I’ll cover you.”
The deadly last words one hears
Under friendly fire.
Details were covered
Every moment rehearsed
Except for the rain.
They played for hours
Covered by a makeshift fort
Under the table.
The star-studded dome
Covers the neon city
Competing light shows.
Dust covers each inch
Of the long forgotten home
No one lives to tell.

Word of the Day from dictionary.com
Today’s word of the day from dictionary.com is another ancient, rarely used word, and when it is, it is found more in the realm of psychology and the study of positive thinking.
It originated in the early 19th century: from Greek eudaimonismos ‘system of happiness’, from eudaimōn ‘happy’, from eu ‘well’ + daimōn ‘guardian spirit’. Though when I first saw the pronunciation of the word, I couldn’t help thinking it sounded like “street talk” for something like…”Hey…U demonic?!” At any rate the Eudemonic we are featuring today is an adjective…not a question! 🙂
Though I will admit that there are times when my level of euphoria over something can verge on the manic side. I blame it on being a Gemini. Just last night I was over the moon over discovering snowflakes on WordPress AND the fact that I could change their direction by moving my mouse left to right!!! : ) : ) 😀 But…I digress.
Here’s my Haiku. Have a EUDEMONIC Weekend! 🙂
Those who are happy
live a eudemonic life
of true gratitude.

Lingering dark night
In dreamy slumber we wait
For the dawning Light.

Ronovan’s prompt words this week, LOOK and CHARM, when applied to the added challenge of making the formed sentences opposites sent my mind into a swirl of deception! How else to explain the look of something charming or the like? At least for me, I came up with several scenarios on the theme. Good one Ronovan. A worthy challenge as always!

He was charmed
By her demure smile
Looks deceive.
A blooming beauty,
the Flytrap woos her suitor
With a look that kills!
“Charmed, I’m sure.”
Said she, as she glanced his way,
“What a pompous pig!”
Silky threads of lace
Enchanting view from afar
Up close…sticky death.
