Ekphrastic April, Day 13: "The Tiff"

 

"The Tiff" (c. 1902) by Florence Carlyle [1864-1923].

 

I do not mind sulking

it gives us both the time
to think--him about
the unkind thing he said

me about the apologetic
kisses he will soon offer

      I'll have to work on that. I suspect he is having second thoughts about the whole relationship!

    What a picture & that is the way things were. Are they still?

      Good question! I think there still are, but perhaps less than in our youths. The push for empowerment may have led women to reconsider using cuteness as a relationship tool.
