Monday Quadrille - Stand

STAND : A Quadrille
Perfect handstands are expected
Of you doyennes advanced enough
At yoga class

Blue skies morph into monsters
Noisy and charcoal 
On  stormy days    

Who wants to go to a hell
If there's a heaven sublime
Waiting and rewarding   

Kindness 
always stands 
on tired legs

    ...I'm surprised that cherries grow in your area, I thought that it would be too hot. Thanks Gillena for hosting.

    Hi Gillena! I laughed at the women doing the perfect handstands in yoga class, but the last lines about kindness are perfect.

    Love the progression from yoga handstands to the poignant ending, which I agree can stand alone. Just wonderful.

    Gillena - it seems everyone agrees "Kindness always stands on tired legs" is a keeper! You are the second person linking to Mosaic Monday this week with a note about kindness (the other was Diane of Lavender Dreams!)

    Dear Gillena,
    In your country, the cherries and the leaves of the cherry trees look very different from ours in Central Europe - is that a special variety? Or a very special kind?
    All the best from Austria
