First Date

go to dine start with a little wine present her your own natural self Compliments are a sure way to keep off the shelf never speak of money or your personal wealth stay focused and see ways to relate order food sure to sate good first date ~//~ a stitch made in time in the course of do and don’ts is said to save nine you are more well off to plan than caught dead in the water ~//~ Better to always have thoughts benign. Better to always meet at least as friends. There is no awkward making of amends. Quickly conjuring excuses for evil design It’s good not to imbibe in verbal decline. The reasons just don’t justify the ends. Better to always have thoughts benign Better to always meet at least as friends. I’m embarrassed to have my words malign. So I try to say nothing which might offend. That’s a good thing, I don’t have to pretend, when I’m falsely accused of verbal brine. Better to always have thoughts benign. © Oct 20 2010 Charles Henderson 3 rd in Jared's Trois, Tanka, Rondel contest

Charles, very clever the way you literally "stitched" these three forms together. Some good advice in here -- I especially like your first date advice! I'll have to remember that if the occasion ever arises again. Showing a positive attitude as described in the Rondel is always a good approach as well. Wise words from a wise friend. Best wishes in Jared's contest, Charles. Love, Carolyn
