Today, my parents are celebrating 47 years of marriage.
A goal I aspire to as well.
They are a couple who have shown us how love, understanding, patience and a sprinkle of madness, is the best recipe for marital success.
Wishing them a wonderful day and hope their union may last many more years.
Happy Anniversary Pops and Mum ❤️

Another poem inspired by Lucy of Blonde Write More! Thinking about the choices we make regarding publishing!
Could I do it
on my own?
Could I afford it?
Take a loan?
Push myself to
edit?
Teach myself to
market?
Formatting for
e-books
Seeing how the
inside looks
Do I need
a paperback?
Should it be seen
upon a rack?
Or do I try
submitting?
Find an agent
who is fitting?
A person who
can take care
Find me a deal
that's just and fair
Get me published
traditionally
What others think is
'properly'
So my books will
sell in shops
And book charts?
I could hit the tops!
Both are hard
Both need your book
Both need your time
Both need a hook
Yet with one
you sell your soul
Trying to achieve
your only goal
And the other
it's up to you
How much effort
you put in to
Creative control
may be taken away
Indie or traditional
I'm starting to sway...

Ronovan’s Haiku prompt this week:
More a senryu again this week, and a little saucy!
Getting some action
Quickly, whilst no one's watching
But ouch! Friction burns!

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”
Audrey Hepburn
Thank you Spidey for an intriguing quite. I know he was looking for that for quite a while.
And it encompasses what Easter can mean in its essentiality.
Easter is a time of hope, of resurrection, of new life.
A time to believe in tomorrow.
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter Peeps, many your eggs be plentiful and your hopes fulfilled!
