To shop or not to shop


Around New Year’s time,
And you want a resolution.
One look
At that overflowing closet;
Those sweaters and jackets;
Those heaps of clothing.
I know, I know.
I have thought it over.
No more shopping for me.
Strictly.


I just walked into the “Fashion Mall”.
And oh! That jacket looks so good!
Is my resolve weakening already?

    It's so true. I have piles, but most of my shirts have stains. :) And who doesn't need a fresh, white shirt at the beginning of the season? I'm no help. :)

    Thanks for linking up!

    oh no...run away from the mall. :-) Keep busy with writing and producing those well crafted works of yours.

    or, you can empty your closet, give away the old ones, then you will have reason to shop. Ooopps... not too helpful. :-)

    I wish you well in your resolve. :-)

      Thank you Imelda. I find both of your ideas very helping.
      It helps both ways, shopping and not shopping.

    I've been trying to make sure I don't buy anything lately unless I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It doesn't matter if it's on sale from $100 to $5 ... if I don't wear it, it's a WASTED $5 that just takes up space in my closet!

    Great one, Ruby. Thanks for linking up.

    Ha! You made me laugh!

    I need to apply this philosophy to Grandlittle clothes! I cannot enter a store without wanting to buy one of them something!

    And then, if I buy one something...sigh, I need to buy them ALL something.

    It's a cycle.

    Sigh.

    I think I need a support group for this!

    Thanks for a wonderful link!

    Happy (belated but sincere) New Year!

      Something that my mother battles with too.
      Happy New Year to you too.

Faint glimmer in heart

Ripe autumn air’s come to bless. Showering sweet November caress. We could be holding hands and walking, Silent but still talking. Faint glimmer in heart. White winters, no flowers in sight. Frosty December moonless night. And here I am hoping for your arm, To keep me safe, to keep me warm. Faint glimmer in heart. The year twenty twelve is leap they say. Oh! I can hope some more, there’s one more day. Hope for smiling summers with you, Hope for blessings to rain through. Faint glimmer in heart. Dying, not yet vanished, There’s a faint glimmer in this heart. Linking with Trifecta : Week Fifty Linking with Velvet Verbosity : 100 Words

Showstopper's Yesterday

The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

The pain is all gone

It wasn't the first time. And it would not be the last. She could not stand them suffering like that. She asked for his consent. He expressed his willingness in whimpering sounds. And the pain was gone – forever. Linking up with Trifecta : Trifextra - Week Nineteen
