PROMPT: March 15th - What is your favorite color? Seems like a pretty boring question, right? Well, they say a person's favorite color says a lot about their personality. See here  Open in new Window. and here  Open in new Window.. What are your thoughts? Does your favorite color represent you?

My Favorite Color

In the periwinkle dawn
a poet inhales
the orchid passion of morning,
ignoring
both her horoscope
and what lavender reveals
about her personality.

DAY 1914: Discuss one of the quotes about the Ides of March
https://www.ibtimes.com/ides-march-12-quotes-about-loyalty-celebrate-march-15-18...

Loyalty and Self-Sacrifice

"Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice."
Woodrow T. Wilson

I contemplate corporeity1
and self-sacrifice.

The first person who comes to mind
is Mulla Husayn--
first person to accept The Bab2--
who sacrificed his all
in the path of The Gate of God3,
thus demonstrating
both loyalty and self-sacrifice.

DAY 2308: Discuss something from the link about what happened in history on March 15th that appealed to you.
https://www.onthisday.com/events/march/15

The Ides of March:
This Day in History

On this day in history
someone died
and someone was born
neither of this events
caused the world to come to an end.

On this day in history
Julius Caesar died
a violent death.

He was neither the first person
nor the last person
to be murdered
on March 15,
but he was the most famous person;
at least according to the history
I remember being taught
in school.
