Very good brief but not lacking, allusion but not confusing.
leaves the reader asking for more!
why make resolutions at all -- once i asked a teacher; she said it was to better oneself...
i asked her what was hers -- she said it was not to pinch any child (pinching was her most painful punsihment)
then she asked me what would be mine --I said, no resolutions, because i thought there was nothing to better; i was the best -- it didn't take a split second for her hands to raise to my ears! :)
Follow your instincts -- has always been mine! :)
good one...Hope you are fine after breaking! :)
wishes,
devika
Love it!
easy done Bill

Full disclosure. This is pure fiction. Like you, Devika (even though, unlike you, I'm not perfect), I don't make resolutions. But this month's kigo at the Shiki Kukai is "first [of the year]," and, while, playing with the theme, I came up with this. Of course, this is not the one I sent to the kukai. I'll post that after the results have been announced.
Thanks, all.
haha! Perfect and Me??
that was a tease to the teacher, dear Bill...i seldom care or strive for perfection....in art as in my life..what is, is what it is :)

devika
And mine was a tease to you, dear Devika. As Pat will tell you, teasing from me is a sign of affection.
ha! thats possibly the way I show my affection too...and often misunderstood -- they seldom expect it from women after 30...
hope we build a community of healthy affectionate teasers! :)
wishes,
devika
lots of fun
