Thursday 11th February was my Birthday.
Tis once again my month, of sometimes 28, sometimes 29 days, but always my birthday appears, so too Valentines Day and there is Carnival
The Lord is my strength, my shield,
my heart puts its trust in Him;
Psalm 28:7
What's there to smile about today? Thank God for the grace of poetry
SUNDAY SMILES
❧✿❧
BLOG HOPPING TODAY WITH
Writers' Pantry #58: Is It Spring Yet
AND
A CAT NAMED CHARCOAL
a wintery night
the depth of shivers before -
a warm counterpane
black lace -
enough holes for heartbreak
to seep through
truth be told
better a pet; a black cat
which stays by her side.

Oh I love your mask piece, LOL. And you'll always get me with anything about black cats.
Loved the mask poem--an extra layer of trying to navigate a muffled world. And the cat poem made me sigh.
LOL, I've had similar troubles in grocery stores too. I'm always fascinated by the patterns and designs on masks. I wish I wasn't allergic to cats. I rather like them otherwise. And I know my corgi actually really likes cats.

Very good pieces.
Enjoyed all of them....no one wears a mask in NSW now...I do and I get a lot of stares because I do.
"Enough holes for heartbreak" ... what a perfect line!

The "black lace" haiku is magnificent. So much being told so clearly in such few words.
And the mask one made me grin. I've been there (more than once).
Happy Sunday, Gillena.
Happy Sunday! Good writes, as usual. I particularly like the part about "better a pet which stays by her side."
I like the different aspects you give on this evocative photo.

Like your poem Especially love "black lace -
enough holes for heartbreak
to seep through" Great
Gillena, your liberal spreading of "black" instills a special feeling towards your parties.
I hope you will forgive me today, I was practicing writing, bad job though, Gothic Fiction Poetry.

As long as we can look in their eyes for they are the "windows of the soul"
A cat does much to reduce the shivers of a wintry night...
love your cat poem.

Ohhhhh Gillena. A Cat Named Charcoal, just beautiful.
"black lace -
enough holes for heartbreak
to seep through"
So much contained in this stanza. Great poem, Gillena!
