    Teahouse Conversation

      'You're way too pessimistic, Yersinia!'  the young woman with the cheeky red dyed short haircut exclaimed and took a sip of her tea glass. The Oriental beauty sitting opposite to her at a table for two in a small tea...

    • Powerfully penned, Elke. A very clever write my friend, it kinda shows that humans never seem to learn. Excellent work, with a great message. Appreciate you.

    • Interesting take on pandemics. They certainly were not handled very well, but the vaccine for the modern one was was handed out fairly, in general. It was new territory so mistakes were made. I got all my shots and am glad of it. I do agree that there were too many restrictions put on the public at least here in the US.
      This piece really made me feel like I was sitting there with the two ‘women’. You certainly have a talented pen Elke. To be transported to the moment you describe is really a rare and wonderful talent. I’m happy the you share it with us. I’d be happy to slip and fall in your direction. 😉 💙

      • Your appreciation and encouragement made my day, dear Jim! 1001 times thank you!
        Of course I exaggerated in my writing but anyway, I think that every crisis comes along with a learning task. I’m afraid, concerning the Corona pandemic humankind has failed the test.

    • You are a very good storyteller. To board people in their own homes to prevent the spread …yeah history did repeat itself with that. The difference is that people spoke online and got used to that, then speaking face to face. Thought-provoking piece.

      • Thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment dear Fià! There are even more parallels: in times of the plague, many people tried to overcome their helplessness and desperation by celebrating hilariously on graveyards and other scary places. On these occasions people used to wear facial masks!

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. Simply amazing write my friend, you changed it up a little on this one. Excellent! Appreciate you.

    • Awww, Fia =(

      How poignantly vivid your pen has laid its sorrows’ disappointments upon our hearts … so many times we’ve gone through such relatably plaintive ache, yet, your poetic emotion expresses it all so vividly, as though it could be any one of us experiencing your own moments of disquiet.

      “Love is a demon’s creation.
      It obscures and twists the mind,
      That being in complete submergence is good.”

      Oh, yes! Nothing’s like LOVE it when it’s good, when all is wine and roses; for, love shall seek not but for its own satisfaction. It will bend and twist you, and shine and dim upon you, while holding onto those within its grip. And, there is no single answer to the question of what love really is, but I have learned that when love is in control, there are no guarantees.

      I so admire the smoothness and imagery with which you paint emotions, feeling, and thoughts upon the canvas our minds, hearts, and souls … the hallmarks of a true artist’s touch.

      Swearing we’ll never fall in-love again, our needs are far too deep not to.
      Beautiful work, Dear Poetess … thank you for sharing! ⁓ Richard🖌

      Superb artwork choice:
