Jealousy

Lilies in negative space. (Pun intended.)

Day 29: Othello (jealousy)

I can't think of any way to portray jealousy except to say that I'm jealous—no, envious—of anyone who met this challenge without a kookaburra. This is mine.

Can you tell I'm a bit punchy? I worked for too many hours on my book today. The progress is slow and the process is tedious but the product is going to be worth it, I believe and hope.

earthdreamer writes such good apologies that I'm going to plagiarize from him again:

"For those of you who have left me words and stars with no response back by way of thanks, I apologize profusely. When I'm spending so many hours at the computer it's a bit unfortunate to have a hobby that demands even more such time. I dearly hope I can repay my growing blip debt before too long—when my working hours at the computer diminish."

No energy to produce a poem, or even select one.
Please accept a substitute offering from the Bard.

Trifles light as air
Are to the jealous confirmations strong
As proofs of holy writ.

— Othello, III.3
