Olga, in my humble opinion I'm nowhere near publishing ))) though - inscrutable are the ways of the Lord.. and I'll probably do it one day in a small number of copies solely to distribute amidst my friends )))

I do share entirely your passion for uncommon (in terms of colloquialness) lexical items.
By the way, do YOU compose verses or the one above was an improvisation of yours ?

Julie,
sorry for a belated answer.
The verse presented above was not a pure improvisation - I had to spend up to 20 minutes to rhyme the lines
As I've said I don't write poetry - I have just a couple of verses written when I was a student. But I've got this capacity for rhyming (probably as any of us) and supported Leo's idea about a rhyming competition

...which deserves to be continued ))

.......Grief(grieve)
................Tips
.......Live(leave)
................Lips.

Here is my variant, hope, you'll like it :

Don’t you ever give up to your sorrow and grief,
There is no ready guidance.. nor efficient tips,
Just keep smiling. Keep smiling as long as you live –
It’s the second best thing you can do with your lips

[Ольга]

Yes, I do like your verse, Julie, I like it indeed Why not call this a ready guidance to living a happy life?
By the way, I wonder if my conjecture as to the "first best" thing is right

PS I won't write anything right now - no time for it. But I'll drop in here some time later to share a version of mine

[Julie P]

Yes, Olga, it might be called like this )) moreover, that's the rule I try to follow

Well, if kissing was what you thought about, then you were right
PS Maybe next time you'll come up with your rhymes ?
(as now we compose verses relying on my rhymes only and that may seem to be a bit unfair)

Hi, guys! It's so cool to speak different languages here with you
