A new blog to contain answers to prompts
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas Open in new Window. became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.


Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt:
Use these words in your entry today: selflessness, heroic, determination, fierce, longshots, peanuts, and timeouts


-------------

Defeat

his *heroic *determination, immense
selflessness* reigned, and he made sense

my husband said, "Be brave, no one is here to stay"
while I chased his *longshots, faraway

and I was *fierce and bold, against all odds
I challenged medicine with doctors its gods

yet never got a break, tiny like *peanuts
for *timeouts and doom reshaped my struts

since, "brave" alone was never enough
losing a loved one for the heart is rough.
