"Two... That... No, you jest. One I can accept, but two sound like a Maggister's tale. I am just full of #sanguine humours from frustration, and you say there are two in your class." Venarius leaned forward. "I would be happy with just one passable, just one." #vss365

Agorius looked at the mirror and saw a slight smile on his lips. "Indeed, Venarius. All but five of my students inscribed the curse into their grimoires. More every year, but I do feel moderately #sanguine overall, as out of the five, two show promise. Thorne and Mordant." #vss365

"Pro Luppiter! They are trash, the lot." Venarius fell on the cushioned sofa and sighed. Agorius glanced up from the documents in front of him. "Agorius. Why such a #sanguine disposition? Do you disagree with my evaluation of this year's lot or did you solve the riddle?" #vss365

After fifteen years as a makeup artist for a special effects studio, I opened my own salon, Blush of Life. I cater to a very specific, very wealthy clientele. The kind that only makes appointments at night and who need my talents to give them a more #sanguine complexion.

eukrasia of body
black bile of the earth
yellow bile of the fire
phlegm of the water
blood of the air
like ataraxia
hard to reach
just try to be
#sanguine, calm,
ambitious and analytical

No one recognized the sanguine young girl
She dazzled with gems and necklace of pearl
She had grown up in the town
Where she’d always been pushed down
She returned to own it all with a twirl

Is #sanguine pronounced like penguin or wine?
Hmm, I'm not sure let's think about this - what's black and white and red all over?
a) a newspaper
b) a sunburnt penguin
c) a sunburnt penguin reading a newspaper drinking a large glass of claret.
I'm not sure I understand?
Get me a drink idiot!

She...
Came into my life
Almost serendipitious
A master stroke to languid limerence
Her #sanguine belief
In an "Us"...
When the odds are proven in spades
That wasn't a charade
It was faith delivered with extraordinary assurance...

When has it been
out of fashion
to be optimistic
hope for the best
even at the worst of times?
A #sanguine attitude
confident and bright
mocked by the ones
who jump at shadows
even when none are there
to be found

“Thank you for listening to me spill my guts out and helping me with the hangover. Maybe once you get Mina to safety, you can come back, and we can spend more time together.”

I hate to disappoint his #sanguine eyes.

“Honestly, I do not think I will ever return here."

the rose forgets
the seed beneath its beginning,
the roots that stayed buried,
the leaves that fed it light,
the thorns that guarded its bloom.

#sanguine—
or merely in bloom?

#vss365

feeling quite #sanguine
surviving sanguinary
so sanguineous
#vss365 #haiku

Her cute little sanguine cheeks
Slowly turned to deep red,
Then all over her face,
Swiftly it spread.
Till she looked like a tomato.
Where did my adorable little girl go?
Then a wail and a whine:
FEEDING TIME!!!!
