Sigrid Ermine Poet Monoku

Boudoir Bavardage

fuelled elaborate lie with friends of ventures
                       with boy I barely knew
 




All girls' school... Poor deprived fourteen year olds we were! Group of girls hung vicariously on my riveting ridiculous stories.  I think I gained status by telling fanciful fibs.... Blessed, these simple times before social media mayhem ....!

Sam Kauffman September 9, 2020 at 5:45 PM Sigrid, I suspected you went to an all girls school - don't know why? Me too! Your monoku brings back memories of sleepovers and tall tales! Congratulations on your first place win! So fun! Sigrid Ermine September 10, 2020 at 5:37 AM Oh wow!.. Yeah, Hobart oddly has a state (public) single gender school. Where do you live, Sam?

Eve Roper September 9, 2020 at 11:13 AM Good one, Sigrid . Congratulations on your first place win. Sigrid Ermine September 10, 2020 at 5:35 AM Kind thanks, Eve.

Gershon Wolf September 9, 2020 at 10:35 AM Keeping up with the Joneses, high school version. Conformity, conformity, conformity. Congrats on your win in the contest, Sigrid! ~ Blue jean baby, :) Sigrid Ermine September 10, 2020 at 5:35 AM ... At that age, we were all very inexperienced... Thanks for visit, G!

Richard Lamoureux September 9, 2020 at 9:35 AM I’m sure it fuelled their imaginations as well. Congrats on your win. Sigrid Ermine September 10, 2020 at 5:38 AM Juicer than soap opera... Yes!

Newton Ranaweera September 9, 2020 at 3:47 AM Congratulations, Sigrid, on this 1st place win!! Sigrid Ermine September 10, 2020 at 5:33 AM Thank you, Newton.!

Howard Kerr September 9, 2020 at 3:43 AM Congratulations Sigrid on your win. Impressive entry. With regard to my contest submission I was usually quite good at school. Grade C would be quite poor for someone capable of much higher marks. I’m duty bound to share that with you. We both value honesty as a trait. Back to your work, the narrative is second to none Howard Sigrid Ermine September 10, 2020 at 5:32 AM That's right. The soul always knows if dishonesty is taking place. Ta for visit, Howard

Carol Mitra September 9, 2020 at 3:04 AM Those were the innocent days, were boys were a hot topic amongst the girls:) Congrats on your win Sigrid. Sigrid Ermine September 10, 2020 at 5:33 AM ... Exactly.... Potential was fuller than realisation.

Anne-Lise Andresen September 2, 2020 at 1:45 AM - Today everything spreads like a fierce virus ... before it went from mouth to mouth ... I have never been on facebook ... probably "the only one in the world" :)))) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Sigrid Ermine September 2, 2020 at 3:06 AM That's really cool that you're not. I barely used it, started to look at it too much. Shut down account last month. There's such a good community here, likeminded folk. Who needs FB!?
