antithesis |anˈtiTHəsis| noun (pl. antitheses |-ˌsēz| )
a person or thing that is the direct opposite of someone or something else: love is the antithesis of selfishness.
blond boy born of summer
winter’s brown-haired girl
both blue-eyed
raised like corn from rural soil
born and bred in city lights
single sibling each
staring out school windows
curling up in library chair
home-school sons
cold, plugs in a heater
hot, flips on the fan
warm embrace
shuts off the radio
cranks up the music
concerts together
loves bright sunshine
adores soft moonlight
playful shadows
he will order a beer
she prefers glass of wine
sharing a sip
straight meat and potatoes
mix veggies with pasta
time for dessert
irreconcilable differences
might be reconciled
by love’s heartbeat
(Linking to D’Verse where Bjorn is hosting MTB: “antithesis”)

So much story here. LOVE this line:
“raised like corn from rural soil”

Sun and moon, wine and beer, meat and veggies – the similarities of being children together and then adulthood with its choices….opposites attract and not all differences have to go unresolved. Love that last stanza.

Ah.. the opposites of attraction.. no the voice.. yes the silence.. no the song.. of bees and birds.. who do the circle.. in diversity of life.. ah the differences.. are the blessings of love and hate.. and all between.. of all of diversity.. now that’s life..:)

This prompt really brought out some of your best, Lynn!

Thank you, Victoria!

Well, it sounds like they had some similarities, but their differences got in the way. I like the point at the end….that if ‘love’s heartbeat’ ruled, differences probably would not have mattered.

Actually opposites do attract, & the differences in their personal & world views only enrich, albeit complicate, their relationship. Sometimes, perhaps too often, we seek finding ourselves in our mate & friends (does Mick & Bianca Jagger ring a bell?) which stretches self-love to absurdity; just saying.

Thanks for the great comment, Glenn!

Lovely! I was involved almost immediately with your characters.

Like Bjorn, I found the opposites attract motif. The ending, an apparent divorce, was refreshing in that this axiom is often used to highlight relationship successes.

Thanks for reading…i’m trying to say that “irreconcilable” differences does not have to be the end…vive la difference!

Ahhhh, YES!

This seems to illustrate the saying of opposites attract. Especially the contrast between the sun and moon worked for me. 😉
