Crimson’s Creative Challenge #092

All in One

“Come here, Captain!” Julie saw her big companion, a Newfoundland, leapfrog over the counter and sit in front of the pharmacist, who often gave Captain treats. Julie, waiting to refill a prescription at Costco, must have loosened her grip on the leash. Since becoming a widow, Captain was her constant friend and protector. Julie shopped for everything there because it had special dog shampoo, anagram puzzle booklets, and even a bakery!

Can You Tell A Story In…

Being able to walk.

Can’t imagine- spelling?

“Walk it Off” 😂

Joe looked lovingly at the mountain range. It would not be long before he would be traversing them again. California was loved by many, but his home was Colorado. The highway was bleak, but that would soon change and the green range of the San Juans would be showing. New Mexico is not all a boring beige, but that’s the feeling he gets through these long stretches. Soon the landscape will brighten, not only in scenery, but his spirit of going home.

I wonder if you are old enough to remember this song. I still think of it with affection today. I used to wake my kids with this once in a while, but usually I turned their lights on and yelled “up and at em!” Either way I was singing this song this morning and realized it’s lacking in lyrics but the first few words are enough for me. I feel it is a “loving” song. Oh well, another day in nostalgia.☺️

The light is changing, creeping up over the horizon, it’s not just another day.

morning glorious

sun rises tentatively here

stone structures greeting

sun slow and lazy today

summer solstice lingering

Poetics: A Tale of Two Images

Joe thought they had learned their lesson

The “boys” had caught him dressing

He peered into the mirror

Their images became clearer

That’s when they started messing….

Calling him a number of names

Joe had heard all the refrains

When he was smaller

Wanting to be taller

And join in their basketball game.

Now he was a star

They couldn’t mar

His mind with useless digs

As he donned his uniform rig

They were just jealous

And talked rather callous

Joe just strolled into the The Palace

(of Auburn Hills, MI)
