Persevering Curvilinears

Shyly hopeful looking for love.

Kick stepping to the inner beat.

Quietly going about the day.

Staying balanced in the wind.

On alert.

Playing statue.

Always observing.

While slip sliding away…

Sumi Curvilinears Aren’t Human

Of course they aren’t Human, but they share characteristics, like going on walk about.

In fact, walking about is one of their favorite things to do.

Unless it’s playing dress up, which doesn’t always work.

And then, there’s the youth, so careful to just observe before moving.

Sometimes they channel being a turkey or a duck just for the fun of it.

Or, they might just take flight.

Sumi Dancing Curvilinears

Do you want to dance?

We have all kinds here at the Ball.

Step right up and give it a whirl.

The Grande Dame will show you the poise.

While the young are awarely poised.

No need to hurry.

We have plenty of time.

Sumi Curvilinears

An artist came to town, a Curvilinear in practice, bending the lines to suit itself.

Followed by the youngest, of course, who naturally bent lines to suit itself.

A local Curvilinear strolled by, peacefully demonstrating the bending of lines.

Yet another Curvilinear was feeling a little mutable today. Could bend one way or another.

The siblings showed their differences, bending the lines within their personalities.

While another Curvilinear peaked out of bed to see what all the commotion was about.

bending the lines to suit themselves

You’ll be seeing them around, because that’s all I really do these days

Yes, just playing with bending the lines…
