Word Games

From the twilight of absolution - he spoke in cliché, the fantasy of living his dream having seen and done all the things he ever hoped to see and do, in moderation. Yet, moderation, in and of itself, can be self destructive to the inquisitive self within, fortunately, that nagging search of perfection which we all deniably seek, ended for him, as the questions affectionately died in the growing of a new relationship. She answered in riddles, softly smiling, relishing the thought of his consternation a long distance friendship involving a badminton-like banter of wordmanship a decade of age separated their experiences, yet, it only enlivened the language, in all likelihood, they would never meet, surely, he had been part of a past soul group? Day by day, words pinged and ponged, hopefully, into cyberspace, infinity and beyond! Poetic Collaberation By Charles Henderson & Debbie Guzzi

I love what you and Charles have written, Deb. As I said in my comment on his posting: "Moderation" is sometime self destructive to people who are on a quest for perfection. And I love the reference to the "badminton-like banter of wordmanship." You have yourselves a winner here! Best wishes to both of you. Love, Carolyn
