871 - Bits & Pieces


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: enchanted, fanatical and giddy.


A state of your mind:
To seek out the enchanting,
To avoid the dross.


“Oh my giddy aunt!”
Swearing in a gentler age.
The intent’s the same.


The fanatical—
They come from all the extremes:
Social outliers.

  8. Love the second.
    Fear the third.

  9. Love the different themes: the deep wisdom of the first, the commentary weaving into the third... and the serious playfulness of second, which happens to be my favorite.
