Cool mornings, pleasant evening chills, all enjoyed by a warm bonfire. Maple trees are the stars of autumn’s beginning, a short vision, and then we watch children dance in leaf piles.
equal nights and days
colored leaves display
autumn’s not here to stay
it is mother nature’s way

A penny for your thoughts he said, as if he had no clue
He invited company, and I wasn’t in the mood
For years I’ve been baking treats, a birthday cake or two
Even cooked a roast and short ribs, by the slew
My husband brags over my abilities, so true
I wish he’d hire someone else to stand over a hot stew.

Each tiny kernel shows
Ornamental corn growth
Such intricate designs
Mother Nature takes her time
Choosing colors so sublime
See the beauty of a rhyme
In a harvest.

I think she has it all figured out
She never comments with a pout
Her consistent efforts are without
Rancor or criticism, and there’s no doubt
She’s a very nice lady we need to thank
So many followers show how she ranks
As an outstanding blogger!

Among my people and of course you know, I have the best people, I met John Furtado in the third grade. Our fathers were both rich so we played around a lot and I admit at this juncture in my campaign…because you know I’m so far ahead in the polls I can afford to be honest…now don’t laugh, you know I’m always honest…John and I made paper kites and uh well, we uh, used them to fly up girls’ skirts…hahaha…nowadays that would be called sexual harassment.., hahahaha.

OLWG# 384- Peace in the East
The woman staggered out of her car after the wreck she caused while fixing her hair yelling, “I look a wreck!” in the rear view mirror and ran her car up on the curb. The police came, put her in handcuffs and said, “well you’ve wrecked your car, it’s not going to drive now.” Another policeman came up and said, you’ve also wrecked the stop sign! That will be a charge of (w)reckless driving at least, maybe even jail time.” Suddenly her husband came to the scene and reprimanded his wife, “another wreck, you’ll lose your license now.” The woman started crying, mumbling, “this accident will be the last straw and wreck my marriage”.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
Greetings, everyone!
Am sure every one of us has at some point familiarized themselves with colour associations and comparison, in our daily lives as well as our literary ventures. One of the most famous ones is ‘feeling blue’.
This week, for Sunday confessionals, I would like you to do your own exploration on what ‘feeling blue’ reads and looks like. Explore it from a known perspective created by yourself, explore its unconventional meaning, assign it a new one or pick another colour entirely and create about ‘feeling red’ or ‘feeling purple’ or any colour.

Colors surround us every day, some darken or lighten our mood. This woman is in extreme blue because she is in pain, both mental and physical. Her body in red and yellow patches tries to stay calm, but her head is pounding, and she’s sobbing. Green blues are an attempt at soothing, surrounding her in peaceful hues. She tries to shield herself from the strong black spikes but smaller ones invade her head.
