I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo! Go, msbelle.

I have a black cat curled up next to me right now, AIFG.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo, msbelle! Good luck.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

aren't pretty much all 2 syllable works in the english language trochees? We rarely move emphasis off the first syllable.

No. Because iambic, which is the dominant meter of the English language, not just poetry, would be extremely difficult. Though most participles ending in -ing and most adverbs ending in -ly are trochee.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Go, msbelle!

I have two black cats (one solid and one tuxedo) and am perfectly happy with them. I don't know what I'll wind up with for the next cat I get, though, as I'm always being given cats and they're black. If I actually chose for myself, I'm not sure if I might not just go for another color because black will have become passe.

Our wings are not tired.

And, in one fell swoop, java ensures we will never grow old together.

Hey now! You're going to grow old with your fancy new opera blog friends!!

Awesome, MsBelle! Is it for something nearby and cool?

We have one almost all black cat and one tuxedo, and in neither case did color factor at all in the decision to acquire the specific cat. For a while I did worry about our all-black kitty getting out on Halloween and falling victim to some nasty teenagers, but she's old and fat now so less likely to escape.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good god, I love lemon bars too much.

I am also going home and working the rest of the day somewhere warm and free from chemical smells and distraction.
