This week’s round up is hosted all the way from Paraguay, by Ruth at there is no such thing as a God-forsaken town.

What

the

world

needs

a blue moon

a slow blush

a royal tip-of-the-tongue

what the world needs

is a

wild

blue

yonder

    “A royal tip-of-the-tongue” made me smile. I love wild, blue, and yonder each word standing on its own line.

    “Wild blue yonder” — taking on a whole new meaning here. Lovely, Patricia, and a welcome take on what the world needs right now.
