Beckie’s piece – Compatibility – in response to the Exploration Challenge!
Welcome to Week 90!
PROMPT FOR THIS WEEK
The word ‘compromise’ is just a theme. It need not appear in the piece. There is no harm if it does appear, or a synonym. The choice is yours.
(Haiku)
No two people are
completely compatible,
they must compromise.

Exxploring the (com)promise ..... by Deepa Karthik
Compromise ….. Sadje’s contribution to the Exploration Challenge!
Do we always get what we want
There are many desires which are
Left unsatisfied, unfulfilled in life
Many an occasions we have to
Make a compromise, an adjustment
There is much fun in using a substitute
If the one we want is not available
Be adaptable, be flexible in choices
But never do compromise in important things
Like principles and people you choose to love
Not in accepting less than what is your worth
Welcome to Week 90!
PROMPT FOR THIS WEEK
The word ‘compromise’ is just a theme. It need not appear in the piece. There is no harm if it does appear, or a synonym. The choice is yours.

Doable …. by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #90
communicating
a promise to each other
I will work with you
Indira’s contribution to Exploration Challenge #89
sad, depressed, heart-broken
wandering along the seashore
calm, cool, soothing water
invites
I take a dip in the sea
water tastes like my tears
waves caress, wash traces of tears
whisper in my ear ‘don’t break down or bow out
be like us
carefree and courageous’
I surrender
Floating with the waves
Time stands still to watch
Wind sings lullaby

Am I able to write another post today? Don’t bother trying to answer, as that was a rhetorical question, because I am going to take this one home. There is a plenitude of prompts for me to chose from and I will try to dabble in all of them. Covering multiple prompts in the same post might compromise my writing, taking me off topic, but it also affords me the advantage of writing about different topics. I try to nurture my posts and let them breathe in the oxygen, so they can develop into a story that I can be proud of. If I write something that is too radical, I may have to suffer penance later because of that. From day to day and night to night, I never know where the prompts will lead me. I write using Microsoft WORD, so I don’t have to worry about running…

Fragrance ….. by Leonard White at lensdiary
A subtle fragrance
so easy to capture with
senses heightened
He sipped his glass of wine and breathed in the spicy aromas emanating from the kitchen. Contentment washed over him as his senses were continually assailed with the fragrance of domesticity. Good food, good wine, and a perfect wife. Life was good.
She liked a clean and orderly house. She vacuumed, she mopped, she dusted, she polished. She liked the clean fresh scent of lavender that cleansed the floors, the scent of pine in the bathroom cleansers and the assorted fragrances of the pot pourri placed strategically around the house.
He loved to be close to her. Her subtle perfume stirred his desire and he would hold…

Keep learning …. by VJ Knutson
Tyrannical, my father’s reign; the ensuing understanding of relationship dynamics twisted. Violence and threats peppered with “I love you”, as if one was synonymous with the other. I cowered with the rest, shame a heavy weight.
Oppression dictates
warped sense of love, intimate
nightmare – relearning.
(For Reena’s Exploration challenge #89. Relationships have been the theme of my dreams lately – thus the reversal to childhood.)

The Road to Serenity ……….. by Deborah at awisewomansjourney
Written In Response To:
V.J.’s Weekly Challenge # 50: Acceptance – This week, examine the role that acceptance plays in your life. So looking forward to your responses.
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #89 – PROMPT: You could write a story or an anecdote with a Haiku as part of it. A Haibun or Alternating verse and poetry, of course works.
Over thirty-one years ago when I entered Alcoholics Anonymous to begin my journey with God, the “old timers” (very wise men of God), kept telling me over and over again to read page 449 in the back of the AA Big Book. So I looked it up and this is what it said;
“And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation–some fact of my life–unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until…
