Emoji Smoji
I am sixty-nine today
too old to find pics.
Emojis today
plenty more than smiles and hearts
a new language. why?
Emojis? — no thrills
our pulchritudinous words
are enough for me.

hahahaha you echoed my emotions in regards to this particular prompt.
Thanks, Janice! I hope you enjoyed the marathon as much as I did. ☺
I was in the same boat! This one was tricky but I love your response!! Great line: ‘our pulchritudinous words
are enough for me’…
I am glad you liked it. The marathon was so do-able with a thesaurus nearby, but I was intimidated by the emoji’s. I do at least know how to use ☺, 💗, and 🙏. Hope you enjoyed the marathon experience.
