Transparent 14, Old Lace 12: No Regrets
Title: No Regrets
Story: In the Heart -- Regency AU
Colors: Transparent 14 (Sunrise), old lace 12 (When people say things behind your back there is nothing you can refute or deny, and the rumors go on growing and growing, and no one can stop them.) with Sara's paint-by-numbers (She will beat the rumors. She won't let them destroy her.)
Supplies and Materials: Eraser (Regency AU), canvas, brush (encumber), chalk (a child spotlighted by sunlight), glitter (- "You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." – Johnny Cash), novelty beads (If they hurt you/They hurt me too/So we'll rise up/Won't stop (from "All About Us" by Tatu)).
Word Count: 120
Rating: PG
Summary: Gail won't lie down.
Warnings: sexist slur.
Notes: A Spenserian sonnet for your delectation and delight.
Dear my child, the world has cast us out:
family and friends alike now count us lost,
or rather, me, for you are but a sprout,
a fluttered movement, my belly embossed
by your being, and I will pay the cost
of tales told, of lies spread far and wide;
it's what they do when women's lines are crossed.
So let it be: I will not be a bride,
nor weep my days away, by slander dyed
and marked an unrepentant whore;
I'll be your mother first, and will not hide.
I will not let them win. All this I swore.
The sun will rise on us, I tell you, yet;
And naught I do for you will cause regret.

I couldn't write one of these for any money.
And here you did.
ABOUT BEING A MOTHER. Which is like the last topic ever seen in sonnets.
THIS IS AWESOME I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT.
