One Liner Wednesday
Author: rugby843
I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

D for dragon. Beliefs about dragons vary considerably through regions. Draconic creatures appear in virtually all cultures around the globe and the earliest attested reports of draconic creatures resemble snakes, because humans have an innate fear of snakes and other animals that were major predators of humans’ primate ancestors and often depicted as winged, horned, and capable of breathing fire. Dragons are usually said to reside in “dank caves, deep pools, wild mountain reaches, sea bottoms, haunted forests”—all places which would have been fraught with danger for early human ancestors.

My diet’s working, only berries from now on
It makes me less attractive and safer from the throng.
Always leering, looking, while I’m doing…anything
Those people in the park with their cameras on a string.
I’ve decided with the diet I will seem less visible
Therefore all the visitors will be less quizzable.
I shouldn’t blame them, I guess they are no threat
But we bears like privacy and it’s what we don’t get.
Every time I see one coming I hide behind this tree
Even then they snap and laugh as if they can see me.

1) Choose any animal and consider its nature and write a poem about the animal;
2) Choose a particular attribute of an animal and write a poem that is about the animal but also an attribute that humans exhibit, similar to some of the above poems;
3) Create your own myth or fable involving animals. There are no form, rhyme, or subject constraints in this prompt challenge. All I ask is that you have fun with it!
Going, going, gone?

C for Cerberus, known as the hound of Hades, a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. His three heads were thought to represent the past, the present, and the future while other sources suggest they were symbolic of birth, youth, and old age.

Hates housework, every chore
Now with kids, always more
Dusting, vacuum, mop, repeat
And don’t forget the toilet seat..
Every zoom(ing) finger smudge
That never let a napkin budge
From a perfect table, reaching
Spilling drinks while dad is preaching
“God, give me serenity”.

The entire neighborhood wanted to celebrate and demonstrate the beauty of their community garden. Even neutral minded people, unsure of the sustainable benefit, joined in to help transform a previously unused, unsightly block of land into a beloved space. To encourage participation, a few local businesses supplied basic seeds and tools to the startup. A blend of vegetables and flowers made the space both practical and attractive. Showers of praise were heard as the garden grew and supplied a more varied menu for some of the disadvantaged neighbors.
