Poppy's prompt for October: (Use the following words: splinter, drought, dart, key, & fate )

My Fate

The key to happiness is to cry, laugh, and practice your art, whether music, dance, graphics, clay, writing, or another art you started as of late.

When you dart from practice to practice it is okay. Even better some say. Fate may have it's way, so take time to remember your mate.

You may have a drought in your relationships. You can thirst for him, even when you may be going for friendships. Remember to take the time to discourage a splinter in your love. It is lovely when fate happens and you are with the one that leaves you sate.

Authors note: This writing is for a challenge for Poppy's Prompts #10. I read Shirley's and liked it, so I included both below.
