Can A Sharing Economy Fit With Democracy?

What's Yours Is Yours
by Rachel Hoyt
 
Sharing is daring.
Caring is baring
your plight with delight
though your pack be light -
No iPod or hot rod,
No survival pod,
No hot tub or back rubs,
No security hub,
No trap door or trick floor,
No free candy store,
Just what's yours, all yours,
No less and no more.

Sharing
by Rachel Hoyt

Sharing is daring
To let your path collide,
Abide with caring,
Wear more trust than pride,
Alongside those faring,
Comparing their ride,
No guide, just a clearing,
Appearing like the tide.

It was not much of a surprise to me
to read that the sharing economy
is butting heads with democracy.

Wacky Word Wednesday - Apricate

Apricate

One who apricates
thinks sunshine bates
a basking state
and always rates
a day as great
when warmth infiltrates.

Sunshine is the first mate
of one who apricates.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Reflection

Bouts Rimés means "rhymed ends" in French and is a game or challenge where one person (me) makes a list of rhymed words and others (you) write the lines that end with those rhymes, in the same order in which they were given. It was known as Crambo in English and was quite popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Will you help me bring back this hip historical habit?
 

 
 
Reflection
Intention
Gazing
Amazing
Beauty
Greenery
 
Above are the words.
Get writing rhyme nerds!
There will be no winner. This is just for fun
and the joy of rhyming a smile for everyone.
