Meditation on the letter V
V’s are arrows pointing this way and that way.
They are vases holding the verses of our lives.
V’s are hands raised in a wave, cheering.
V’s are democratic; the capital V
is the very model for the baby v.
If you know one, you know the other.
It’s a family vibe.
When you see a fluttering, wavering V above,
you know the season is about to swerve,
become severe or temperate: veering into fall
or sliding into vibrant spring: the evolution
of our living.
V stands proudly, head erect, full of values:
dignity, assertiveness, conviction, veracity,
devotion, loyalty, love.
V’s are inverted legs giving birth.
We are all alive,
the first view of us
through the V in our mother’s bent legs.
We arrived through the avenue of a V’s V
and we proclaim victory.

This is a nifty read - offering a lot in a short space...love the visuals of the v's, -
Gosh!! i took it completely different :D loved this one .. makes me to explore another letter :)
That was clever - especially at the end.
V surely are strong, versatile and inspiring personality. Love the way we are brought down to earth at the end with the 'avenue of V's' through which we enter life.
Vibrantly vivid, very visual Vs!
that was very clever of you - seeing V in so many things. i loved V being the vases that hold the verses!
