Hello, dear blog friends ~
Valentine Day is fast approaching, and Willow has a special prompt for us. She invites us to write a poem using synonyms for Love and/or Passion. My response is a simple tanka poem.

Separately, Dan Antion encourages writers to consider inventions this week, specifically things invented, then modified, and sometimes reinvented. When I read his post, I immediately thought of my father. He created tools, most likely the first RV, and the first dune buggy. I think this creative energy relates to passion. Don't you?
Dad was a hardworking farmer who always sought solutions to problems. He loved the sand dunes, but getting into them meant walking there. With his buddy, he pieced together old parts of cars, then got some big tires, and created a buggy that could go across the dunes.
I don't remember much about the first buggy, as I was young, but I think it was built around 1956. In the picture below, my siblings and cousins are taking turns riding around the hills. Imagine if Dad had patented his invention...

I hope you have a wonderful week, and a very happy Valentine's Day. I'm thinking roses....❤️
