The Dance of the Seven Veils

Image
  The Dance of the Seven Veils  I danced the dance of the Seven Veils to Bolero, Fast wheels spun under neon light, But love can’t last when you must go. Time for Me to Fly on the radio, pure rock ‘n’ roll, Fingertips traced a dream burnt bright,                                                       I danced the dance of the Seven Veils to Bolero. The hum of the engine, the fever, the glow, You swore you’d stay, but fate said, "not quite," Love can’t last when you must go. The rearview blurred, but I saw the show, Obsessed by echoes of Saturday nights, I danced the dance of the Seven Veils to Bolero. The speed of our love was too fast, too bold, You chased the white line, I faded out of sight,                                       ...

He's got...

  He’s got…. He squeezed, rolled, and patted the whole world. The ball warmed volcanoes compressed. In his hands fissures spill out moisture. Which remains whole. The once smooth red clay World, now gnarled and pinched offers little for life. In his hands this world, a worthless refuge, could exist when he’s got the whole wide world of possibility. This planet is not a friendly place, this planet in his hands is not a hospitable place, this planet is barely hanging on. And I with it.

❤️Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

  The battlefield is where I will fall,   and I will try to get back up  at least two times, so don’t  expect me in your death                                                        to show up on time! J. L. Wright

  5 Grammar Reasons Written English Is So Difficult for Americans English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, but it is also among the most difficult to master—especially when it comes to writing. Even native English speakers, including Americans, struggle with its complex grammar rules, inconsistencies, and exceptions. While spoken English allows for flexibility and informality, written English follows rigid guidelines that can be confusing. Below are five major grammar-related reasons why Americans often find written English so difficult. 1.  Homophones Confuse Even the Best Writers One of the biggest challenges in written English is the vast number of homophones—words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Common examples include: Their  (possessive),  there  (location), and  they’re  (contraction of "they are") Your  (possessive) vs.  you’re  (contraction of "you are") Its  (possessiv...

Observations of life based on games

  Observations of life based on games Currently, my online games are Words with Friends TM, reDecor TM, and Glow TM. It’s nice to see people enjoy some of the things I enjoy; playing with the English language, thinking about how I would decorate expensive houses, and trying clothes on a skinny model.  As an adult one might wonder about the person who would enjoy these challenges.  But we am not here to analyze me but my opponents.  First, I’ve noticed there are two types of Words with Friends opponents. The first one of course is a bot. The bot keeps me playing. It will lose by two or three points. Matches my skill set almost Word for Word, get the pun. The second is an actual opponent somewhere. Often a man trying to pick up a woman who will text me if I accept the text. Or a man in a foreign country. Trying to get a little money.  I don’t care if they text me. I don’t respond. And if that’s all they want then they will drop out of the game. But if they are tru...
