where purple beauty resides
intrude carefully
***

Inside the cottage with a rose bower
Stood a handsome man in the shower
He spent the day working the garden
Wanted to clean up and heard, “beg your pardon”
The man who had soap in his eyes
Couldn’t see so was unwise
And said “who?”
Without a clue
As the cottage maiden
Stepped in to sway him
Making his day when
They had a lay in.

Writing Prompts

Strolling into the castle with his usual swagger, a young man dressed in dungarees and shirt with an obscene photo of the old prophet, emblazoned in bright 3D print, led his fellow objectors in a loud protest.

One-Liner Wednesday – You know you’re tired…

It of course, was the very best chocolate he could find for this thank you. He was thanking the latest lady he spent the night with. He thought of himself as a modern day lothario, only never harming, just enjoying a mutual attraction.
The problem was when lady number twelve went to share her chocolates with lady number thirty 😳.

Fandango’s Story Starter #250


Deciding on a perfect form
All caps or not, rhymes or not
I sit on my perfect spot
Always thinking outside the norm
Let’s begin with a problem had
A daily jumble makes me mad
A fake letter written as my response
I’m surprised at my impuissance
When seen under the actual one
Written by my friend in fun
An AI piece of writing there
Definitely not asked for and never my ware
I tried to find the author’s site
Trying to cause a blight
Of unasked for words with my personal facts
How do “they” extract my acts
How to demolish this intrusion
I only receive confusion
Unhelpful answers with that irritating helpful yes👍🏻 or no👎🏻
This mail “service” needs to go!

Unpunctuated



love sparkling waves
ocean gift, warm soft water
sea salt advantage
body floating bouyancy
vacation dreaming allowed

“What the heck? Joe is that you? Stop fooling around! Cathy’s up in the maple tree watching and I don’t want to look like an idiot! I can’t get up out of the water! Joe, I’m warning you, cut it out! Joe, Joe!“
Then a voice from under the waves, “Joe’s not here, buddy…remember all those times you tried to drown me when we were kids? Well welcome back to the neighborhood Jerry. Yes, I see Cathy up there, by the way, she’s dating George now and it’s serious, ha, ha. Now let me see if I can pull you down a little further,” said Dave, the new bully duck.
