Di’s 3 words are:  ALOOF, CHASTISE, SHY

♠♠♠

‘Twas miserable

All those years misunderstood

Chastised with mere looks

Judged aloof by “kettle-black”*

For being sad, scared and shy

Grace-Light

March 23, 2024

Clouds start sneaking in

Cherry blossoms hold their blush

Mean March…fickle friend

You’d steal brief cherry blossoms

Leave petals ‘mid pewter rain

Spew wind, chill showers

Dark hovering jealousy…

But exquisite gaze

Of pale delicate blossoms

Offers grace-light to dusk sky
