More than just a penny.
That’s just my two cents

Be a slaker, not a slacker

Slake it
Cinquain
Slake is “The Word of the Day” at dictionary.com
“Slake means “to lessen or allay something by satisfying it.” While we can slake our curiosity, desire, hunger, or anger, we most commonly say we slake our thirst.
Slake comes from Middle English slaken “to mitigate, allay, moderate, lessen one’s efforts,” from Old English slacian “to slacken.” Old English slacian is a verb based off the adjective sleac, slæc, variously meaning “loose, lazy, careless, sluggish, lax (of conduct),” which by Middle English (as slac, slak) narrowed to the sense of “loose, not tight,” the principal sense of its modern form, slack, today.
Old English sleac (via Germanic slak-) derives from the Proto-Indo-European root (s)lēg-, which, in its Latin variants, ultimately yielded such English words as languid, languish, lax, lease, release, and relax.
Once again, etymology offers an important life lesson: it’s best not to languish, so slake your thirst—with a beverage of your choice—and relax, but don’t be too lax about it and slack off.”
Word Origin—quoted from Dictionary.com)
11:11
I often see the time 11:11 on clocks
Some think it’s a angelic sign
Some say it’s promising sucess
But really, it’s not either of those
It’s telling me I’m late to work

#NaPoWriMo Day 1 Prompt: write an instructional or dis-instructional poem
Mirrored
Is that really me or an imposter,
A pretender that looks like me?
That kind of action I don’t foster!
Is that really me or an imposter?
I dont see my name on the roster,
But a resemblance I do see!
Is that really me or an imposter,
A pretender that looks like me?

While waiting for my grandson today I caught an amusing site on video. My daughter’s porch has a mirrored medicine cabinet sitting on it waiting to be carried into the house that apparently caught the eye of a little bird.
I sat watching as the little bird saw his reflection in the mirror and kept trying to figure out who that other bird was. It was very cute to watch.

A friend of mine used to say”There’s a lot of truth in jesting” and in this case it’s true. The poem may sound humorous but it’s meaning is real 😊 Snow be Gone!
