W3 Prompt #56: Wea’ve Written Weekly
“For the team, cooking safely means standing by your pan … but thanks to the model we also found out that for someone who uses a wheelchair that may also mean covering your legs,” Galbo added, calling it a powerful example of why it was so important to work with models who live with a disability themselves.
Cooking is a hazard for me and I burned my thighs and legs badly one time losing the grip on boiling macaroni. I rarely try anything like that anymore. It’s good to see an expanding awareness for people with disabilities.

brown gray thick coat, loving brown gold eyes, a shepard-wolf was he
loved outdoors, never comfortable inside, huge paws, grass divots
fierce protector, but trained to love everyone, missing him

After reading the “rules” once again, I am writing a second acrostic poem for the word Oracle.
Daily News
Overly outspoken
Rarely reliable
Always aggressive
Contemptibly callous
Laughable lies
Exaggerated exposés

#TankaTuesday Weekly #Poetry Challenge No. 321, 5/23/23
Here’s what to do:
*******
slightly slumped, casual presence
dressed for the opera, patient as he could manage
waiting was never his strong suit
smoking always filled a space
finally, sits up, then stands to embrace his paramour.
*******
This week’s Story Starter teaser is: WHEN THE DRIVER SUDDENLY TURNED LEFT INSTEAD OF RIGHT, I REALIZED THAT…those were not tourists coming to board the tour bus! We were not on our way to Joe’s Crab Shack for lunch, we were being kidnapped! The couple pulled out their pistols and told all of us to sit down and shut up. We did. Apparently these three criminals thought we were the rich tourists but they miscalculated. Those people were in the second bus tour.
Writing anything is a challenge
Reading it over and over again
Internal strife over the result
Timing it to fit a specific prompt
Intentional choice of syllables
Now it’s time to edit the work
Grateful for a like or comment.

“This will show those bullies! I bet they’ll swim fast as they can to get away from me!”
Timmy timid they called him and he was so easy to scare that it was hardly fun anymore, but what else did they have to do? Life in a bowl was not exactly exciting. Swim, eat, poop, swim, eat, poop was pretty much the whole curriculum…Timmy was so easy to frighten it was literally child’s play! Joe had to laugh at his own joke, causing a myriad of bubbles up to the surface. He followed them up to see a shark fin, not a very big one, but a shark for Pete’s sake! What’s a shark doing in a goldfish bowl? Joe panicked and swam to his other friends. “Did you see the shark?”
Sound travels in water and Timmy started chuckling when he heard the other guys. Mission accomplished he thought.

Memories of snorkeling with three children on a beach in Hawaii when the oldest found himself outside the riptide. As I swam hurriedly to him I looked down to see the biggest fish ever and I took my son and sped toward shore. I was done with deeper water.
outside the high wave
using all my body strength
he’s safe in my arms
