If you don't have any shadows
You're not in the light
--Lady Gaga
If you face the light
Shadows will always be
behind you

Welcome to Monday WRites # 353
June, and the rains are here. A Happy month of June to all.
You've heard about the Monday Blues ❧✿❧well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
If you have a Monday post at your blog you can share at the linky. There is no prompt. All that's required is that your post is a Monday post
AND
ALL EXCEPT SHE
Ready for the spelling bee
Her wings stuck tight
Her eyes bright
Her mind clear
Oh Dear
Where can her words be
Her team mates not nervous
They need be verbous
The contest starts now
All except...
Oh where
Oh where
Can she be

Her wings stuck tight for the spelling bee. Everyone's do one time or another. I hope she's buzzing again soon. Nicely done.
