Fandango’s Flashback Friday — September 4th


travel adventure
stepping into the future
dreams are possible
no luggage requirement
only feet forward not back
—
brown stone steps
curving a pathway
step lively

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.

MLMM Monday Wordle #492

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.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

seldom secrets said
tiny twitches teasing tears
over overt ommission
cause no consideration
must merely manage meeting
