    an ode to aunt flo

    Thursday, June 12, 2008, 09:39 PM PST [*Confessions of a poetic mind*]

    this was my rune card for the day:

    Soweilu rune card

    and boy was it right! it is a card for peace and relaxation. i've been getting this card and the swan card a lot lately. both are a symbol for relaxation and for good karma. :) today i only had one client and i was able to get home and then ride my bike to target to pick up some stuff. :D i was really scared at first, i have to tell ya! i hadn't ridden a bike in a looooonnng time! but it was.... well, like riding a bike! lol! i had to adjust the seat cause my sis has long spindly legs! lol! my mom's side of the family are all long graceful things. long necks, legs, and arms. my dad's side of the family are more like.. well..... slightly evolved cavemen! lol! guess where my 5-4 body falls into! lol! i always said i had fred flinstone feet! lol!! but i've got a nice low center of gravity so i am very good at yoga! ;) the bike ride was so much fun though. very relaxing! can't wait to get my basket, cause the ride home was no picnic without it! i had a target bag slung over my shoulder. that was tough! then got home in time to chat it up with some wonderful witches! that was tons of fun! i sat outside and enjoyed! goddess i love batteries and wifi! :D

    so because of my bike ride and also because *aunt flo* decided to pay a visit. i realized that i need some yoga bad today! lol!! yesterday i checked out some classes in my area. i found out that there is a place not to far from here that does $5 yoga nights! it's only once a week, but it's only 5 bucks! cool huh? i wanna get in on that one. :D but i do record namaste yoga on fit tv. i love it! it's only a half hour, but it is very good. i need to get in the habit of doing that daily.

    so i have had an itch to write lately.. so i thought i'd scratch it. i found the perfect muse. :) so here is my poem:

    an ode to aunt flo:

    oh giver of cramps and taker of energy!

    monthly visitor who rarely gives a warning call!

     

     

    oh swollen siren of the south.

    giving us a reason to be weepy.

     

     

    oh how most women loathe thee!!

    dreading your approach!

     

     

    oh but how some look forward to thee!

    giving us a reason for no unwanted sex, besides feigning headache.

     

     

    oh how you give some hope!

    proof that there is no life inside them!

     

     

    oh how your are always there.

    over barring, refusing to let us stay free from your visit!

     

     

    oh timely visitor of my life,

    may you not forever bleed on through the night!

     

     

    :) hope you all have a kick ass friday! kiss kiss~ alysia

    Such a pretty cavegirl!! :D Love the poem, it's so perfectly true. :D

    Enjoy your bike... it sounds lovely to just bike around. When will your basket arrive? Be safe... crazy drivers out there.

    Love you!!

    Love the poem. Aunt Flo visited me solid from Feb - May with only two 24 hour breaks. If I were to write an ode to Aunt Flo it would be filled with a LOT of cuss words! LOL!

    Hope you get your basket soon. That would be tough without one. Do you have a backpack you could use until you get it?

    Your poem actually made me a bit sad. Aunt Flo hasn't visited me in 13 moons--ready or not, that makes my croning official. As to unwanted sex...never fake a headache, just say no...better yet, say yes and enjoy yourself! LOVED your Friday the 13th broadcast!!!! There always seems to be such a SURGE of energy on this day (or is it just me???). Hope you have a stupendous weekend!
