times were jaunty and carefree
the earth full of smiles
change stands on the edge of time
social dice roll to and fro
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #237
We have a word prompt this week –
Zeitgeist
The dictionary meaning of the word is:
the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time:
Example – “the story captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s”
