CCCLXXXIII - What Comes By Chance

.

Three Word Wednesday asks us to write a piece using three nominated words. 
This week they are 'entice', 'chance' and 'savour'.
I chose to do a rondeau.  Again.


What comes by chance

What comes by chance should not displace
But add to what is first in place.
Our life cannot be ‘either-or’,
Nor should we be keeping score,
But enticing the new onto our shore
To savour and to soft encase
And, with an absence of disgrace,
Be willing to oft explore
What comes by chance.

There is an element of grace
In taking the new into our space,
In being willing to ignore
The risks of opening up some more
And with a joyous heart embrace
What comes by chance.
.

  2. The joy of what comes by chance is that you can incorporate it if it seems helpful, or set it aside if it does not. But first you have to explore what comes by chance.

  10. Thought provoking poem.With a joyous heart embrace chance but be prepared for it at some stage to hit you over the head with a brick bat so best wear a crash helmet at all times:)

  11. You may like battery powered ones whereas you friend may like butane powered or electric
    powered ones. The main advantage of this vaporizer is its small
    size, which makes it possible for people to inhale the vapor of dried herbs whenever and wherever they want.

    It is light in weight but rich in vapor delivery, thus aiding you to achieve
    optimum health.

  12. If you need best aromatherapy, the herbal vaporizers
    are well suitable for you to get huge benefits. Since the herb is used in inducing abortions,
    it should not be used in pregnancy. There are few things that you should know
    before purchasing a Vaporizer.

  13. Cannabis abuse during pregnancy can lead to impairment of fetal development.
    Most residents of Oakland, California recognize the benefits their city would reap from legalizing marijuana to tax
    and regulate sales. The drug Nicotine is one of the regularly abused and commercially available drugs in the society.

  14. Safe mobile phone sex ensures that this fire maintains on burning.
    Most shift workers who have been on the job for several years will
    complain of noise and interrupted sleep.

    That's why you must pay close attention to the legal implications of job interviews.

  15. Die Frauen kaufen sich sehr oft sexy Unterwsche
    und ganz heie Power Dildos, die sie dazu nutzen, Dir vor der sex cam
    an meine Grenzen und vielleicht auch darber hinaus. Battery lifeWe haven't had a lot of Facebook friends, this renders your People app all but useless as a traditional phone contact list. Vor der sex cam kommt es oft dazu, dass Amateure Mdchen auch tatschlich ihren ersten Sex mit User als Paar beim Camsex ficken zeigen. Place a hand in front of.
