Read more quadrilles (44 word poem) on “scars” at dVerse Poets pub.
scars are marks
of prized memories,
show ‘n tell skin events
have made us who we are;
our lifetime misadventures of
bicycle stunts, high climbing feats
fake sword fights, rake encounters of
the worst kind, dull slips of sharp blades,
removal of warts, crazy cow kicks, and birthing.

Prized memories, I like that though there are some spills and falls I would rather forget. Thanks for joining us Lynn. Happy weekend.

🙂 “Prized” as in bragging rights later…but NOT always!

Oh yes, all those things – and can in time become good reminders.
