I have a book conversation tonight

I am excited as they have been just right

conversations with everyday women

about their life today and their past plight

I may not be happy, it doesn’t include men

but maybe next time I told my husband

~

For my event, I might include a band

of women and a fashion show of sorts

of days gone by and they would all be sports

Beautiful photos of them of all kinds

their art on display for all the minds

to see and enjoy, maybe some grinds

it isn’t all upbeat and joy, just some everyday fun

I won this contest with the best of all the rest, Hon.

~

Okay, that is on my mind today and I can jest,

it may be many possibilities, this was a test

of one or two ideas, there will be many by years end

and who knows, I may not finish this project by then.

So what did you think of the photo above

Could it be of my elders and me Love?

I don’t think so, but you never know

I have training to do, so it's time to go!
