Olympic Event and Taj Mahal

Prompt: What Olympic Event would you like to have a Gold Medal in?

Do they give medals for reading? I guess not as it is not an Olympic Event but rather a solitary one.

I like watching the swimming and the running, but I wouldn’t want to participate in either one, unless of course, they might count the performances in years instead of seconds.

On the other hand, we just had a few Olympic events here in WdC, with GOT--courtesy of you know who, (I don’t want to tag her here,)--and I am still recovering from it, although it was a great run for all of us and I am so proud of my team Florent.

Taj Mahal

No point in this trip, I thought,
who would really want to see
a huge dome, royally surrounded
by four others, in the name of
Arts and Education?

A grave after all, and I detest cemeteries
their wide spaces in between mounds
with green grass covering the earth,
akin to this grassy stretch leading to the tomb
of a lifeless empress who once humbled
others of the harem to bear fourteen children
for her emperor, in splendor.

But, imagine being like her
or even someone of the lowest caste,
a worker, a beggar, a woman, yet only a spirit
still loved by one special man
and entombed for eternity in a heart…

Now, that, I’d really like to see.
