One-Liner Wednesday – Jiminy Cricket

He jumped up with the bike, took the curve
He thought he had skill and the nerve
The back tire blew
As he came down on a slew
Of old trash he didn’t observe.

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 66, Exploring Haiku, 5/26/26
Buying a musical instrument is not for everyone. Children think it may look cool to play the saxophone and don’t have the stamina to play it. This happened to my son since he was a small guy. He then tried the violin and did well until some pieces of music found his little finger too crooked to reach certain places. He ended up playing guitar and still does, and excellent at it. Here’s a photo of my granddaughter who did conquer the saxophone:
Buy-A-Musical Instrument Day
The tan on my son
He thinks it’s a number one
Burned so deep and dark
You’d think it could cause a spark
Spent too much time in the sun.

I like to get everything right
Mistakes are just causing a blight
I reread every word
Know that it sounds absurd
But it ends up a perfect write.

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 65, Fun with Homophones, 5/19/2026
This is excellent because I have the opportunity to show my admiration for a friend. Always encouraging, funny, intelligent, talented, with similar world views, and a great support in all my endeavors. We are about the same age, have conquered trials and she, especially is so thoughtful with a constant connection even though we live far apart. I have a wonderful family and making new friends where I live now, but C is always there for me.

Sunday Poser # 287- Kindnesses
“I do show interest”, he complained loudly. “It’s just you and your hobby interfere with mine!” Joe flopped down on the couch, tired of defending his hobby and certainly not enjoying hers. June came over and asked him to stand up so she could check the measurements for the new blouse she designed. Joe was watching the soccer tournament and June stood in his way.
June stated “It’s like working with a bouncing ball!”
