Rory’s Morning Dawdler

1. My first thought is a big no, but it would be better, in my opinion, if we all tried to behave better to each other.
2. Taking care of my health is number one for me and being loved and loving others take care of the rest.
3. I enjoy the very light “coffee with cream” I have in my new apartment. It allows for my colorful accessories etc.
4. Worrying, but I am guilty of it.

Fandango’s Story Starter

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
The two mad scientists are mesmerized and frightened when …they turned on the tv in the lab and saw Marjorie Taylor Green boarding a spaceship. “Finally!”announced Dr. I.E. Einstein, “they’ve come to take her back!” “Indubitable, Dr. E, but I fear we may be next!”

JuJoJa 31

After a sleepless night this won’t be “tight”

Besides my morning look which causes me fright

I look outside and everything’s white!

Cold and windy but there is some sun

Should be grateful it’s not gray or dun

No promises made, probably I’ll get nothing done!

JuJoJa is done for this year

Finally need to thank Linda dear

She makes each January less drear.

A huge thank you to Linda for once again hosting Just Jot it January 💕🌸💐🌷

MLMM Wordle

Grandiose wooly stripes cuddle the obviously contemptuous woman. She whisked through the bookstore and asked a luminary where the children’s book section of wild animals was located. Observing her coat, he asked and she answered, yes she had been to Africa, had seen the beautiful creatures bordering the safari trail and even though she was offered a reproduction, she chose the real thing. Nothing revolutionary even entered her mind. She was of the entitled genre, a puzzle to this “ordinary” man, and never tried to obscure her status in argument.

dVerse Poets Haibun

Let’s write our haibun that references the heart, in whatever context that you conceive. For those new to haibun, the form consists of one to a few paragraphs of prose—usually written in the present tense—that evoke an experience and are often non-fictional/autobiographical. They may be preceded or followed by one or more haiku—nature-based, using a seasonal image—that complement without directly repeating what the prose stated.

Children no longer are allowed to give Valentines to each other in school classes, which is a shame.

hoping heart

flushed cheeks flaring

dream fulfilled

scribbled note

such promises made

must be love
