…
crumble me
cookie-like
into the shape
of a heart made
merry by mar
-velous sugar
stung songs.
chop me
into sticks and
stones, quiet
thrones for monkey
kings and dragons.
hold the
pre
-scription of your smile
to my skin, and remind
me today’s a whole
new place
to be
-gin.

Still getting inspired by fortunes over at dVerse with Toni. Love this one:
A merry heart does good like a medicine.
It’s actually a quote from Proverbs 15:15. I love how The Message version translates it:
For the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
(This makes it appropriate for a Fat Tuesday as well, then.) 😉
It’s not been a merry heart kind of day, really. But mercies are new every morning…

Winter here is dreary but love the prescription of smile & certainly its a beautiful day to be-gin ~
Perfect inspiring words De ~
So cool that a fortune cookie would contain that verse from Proverbs. I love the freedom you show in word-play.
this makes mt heart happy 🙂
Amen. 🙂
You would never know by your writing that you weren’t having a merry heart kind of day, De. I like your positive and playful nature. :~)
Find the middle verse intriguing… !!
Love this De ❤
Enjoyed the optimism in this! I get the message that each day is a new beginning. I think we have to keep realizing that each morning of our life!
Smiling I am………fortune done so well…and reference to the new year and new beginnings and yes, I’ll tip a sip of gin to you there! 🙂
A sting in the words I thought. A merry heart bleeding one drop.
Love the thought of that prescription smile… wonderful really… I think I will try to smile a little more.
Best title ever. If only. Actually, I wish my boss were Tunes, as an entity. Or better yet, Toons.
I love the way you snuck those Sugar Veelas in there (from Harry Potter).
That line break after “remind” is great too, changing the meaning to “re-mind” me … mind me again.
Ha ha. You just made this kinky: “new place” … If you make the “p” do a 180-degree turn, this says “new d lace,” which puts you in some sexy lingerie telling someone to mind you. 🙂 … Which you can totally get away with because you can blame it on the gin!
As above so
