I.
5th anniversary celebration,
old friends revisited feels
slightly melancholy, new
year ahead, clean slate
permits new inspiration,
growth and fun
II.
meeting a date,
conversation flow-
ing but feel no spark
then he turns the
convo to politics and
starts dissing Hillary
date quickly takes
a nose dive
We visit with our former member, Samuel Peralta, at dVerse Poets Pub for our 5th Anniversary celebration and write a poem using 144 characters.

/ July 21, 2016I am enjoying our virtual reunion with old friends, smiles.
I know about bringing politics to the conversation – it can ruin the peace. Sorry that the conversation took a nose dive though. I am glad I don’t meddle too much in the US politics.

Yes, politics can ruin the peace and ever wanting to see that person again. No need to disturb your peace with our crazy politics…I try to avoid it myself!

The moment politics is invoked it can go any direction. People often take strong views on politics from my experience!
