Writing a poem of this caliber
Probably my attempt you’ll remember
As discord is rampant these days
Turn on your device.
I try to follow rules
Never went to a poetry school
in fact, I usually delight in mischief
a curious character clueless on form
never aiming to be the norm
but when I do, sometimes
a miracle happens, it rhymes!
like Peter packing his pickled peppers
not counting those green wonders.

Poetry Form: Descort
Filtering through cracks of threads and tufts of the layers of the fabric, Julie just sat there, letting the flow of creativity go through her. What a vision she thought to herself, it’s almost perfect! Julie’s design for the forest background atmosphere had to include a ruffle, and plumes! Impossible was her first thought, I’ll never complete the professor’s fantasy ideas. Then to freshen her imagination, took a walk around the city’s conservatory and these elements took shape. Even a layer of colorful mosses was inspiration for the backdrop artwork.

Bridge, Anyone?
They were coming and I woke up late.
Three neighborhood ladies for a game date.
Turn on my A/C to comfort create.
Look for some snacks in a stash not lush.
Getting late, I need to hurry and rush.
Hide any mess with an under bed push.

SenHai Saturday #68
The duke passed into the kitchen, hoping the princess would be there alone of course and found her, sitting at the table, munching a biscuit. He was delighted to see her acting happy after the slight downhill turn from her constituency. One of them showed up at the last gathering wearing a sheet curved around him instead of clothing. The sheet words stated he could not afford clothes so had to dress in his bedsheets! It was comical but made a point about taxes.

Well let’s see, keeping in mind this is a stream of consciousness, it seems my conscience needs a little adjustment lately. I think I’m so upset by the motions with every single day a new disgusting act by our government that it’s finally going to take me down. And by that, I mean shut me up – something I bet anyone who really knows me would shake their head, muttering “impossible”. Seriously folks, I’m at my wits’ end! I know it’s affecting my daily life, I am stressed! I used to write my frustrations here on the blog, and by the way, if you are still reading, I feel this IS MY BLOG and I’m free here. I don’t have to think, is it okay to talk about this? Or that?
Hopefully you all have a nice holiday here in US…
The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS September 5, 2026
A garnet is my favorite, an unassuming color – reddish brown is my choice. I had a ring I named my piano ring because the stone was placed on a gold band looking like the top of a grand piano was partly opened. I still have this ring but my arthritic fingers won’t accept its placement. My own birthstone is a sapphire and my husband’s was the garnet.
“Love and Devotion: People view garnet as a symbol of true friendship, passion, and lasting commitment.Protection: Ancient travelers and warriors wore the stone as a protective talisman against evil, bad dreams, and wounds.Birthstone: Garnet serves as the official January Birthstone representing strength and peace.”

Poetics: Lyric Petrologies
Pulled off his shirt singing “light my fire”
She thought previously she’d inquire
If he wanted to finally acquire
An herb to increase his desire
Guess not when both chose to retire
While he sang, “couldn’t get much higher”.

This night Shirley thought she would burst
Her careful planning made her first
In line for the prize
But saw with her eyes
She looked up to see t’was the worst.
