The best revenge film: (IMO)
John Wick (2014)
wanted to leave his past as an assassin behind and grow old with his wife. She dies of cancer, she leaves behind a beagle puppy to help him grieve. Thugs break into his house, kill the puppy, his hope is snuffed out, and his rage takes over, setting a bullet-riddled path to avenge his lost friend in a world that wouldn’t leave him alone.

Prompt: Write a resolution poem

***

Years of contemplation

Hours of rumination

What now would be the good

Wondering if I should

Contact in a letter

Or a cel phone even better

Worries might be over and done

Regrets or answers, either one

Would be better than the mystery

What caused the troubled history

Deciding to take the chance

Try the shuffling guilty dance

Forgiveness might be found

Relationship would be re-bound.

Like most twelve year old boys they crave games, and want to open any doors that will lead to a chain of adventure. Even in the screen adapted versions, they steal away out of doors to explore and use their imaginations.

This day Joey talked the group into some cave hunting by the sea shore. On a ledge above one of the cave openings, they spied an old partially sunken ship not too far from shore.

Joey decided to swim out to it even though it looked too far a swim for him. Watching as he tore off his outer clothes, they started to plead for him not to go. He didn’t stop and started to free stroke quickly over the waves.

Joey reached the ship wreck and found nothing interesting. The dead bulk had been scavenged quite a few times already. Disappointed, but proud he had managed the swim, returned to his relieved companions. Further sea adventures were saved for the ever present safe video tablets at home.

Prompt: Write a rethink poem (rethink an earlier poem, a conversation, a belief etc.)

Deciding on a course of action

What you know at the time

Regrets are felt

Memories made

And that is life.

I’ve never slept in a hammock and it’s hard to maintain friends when you move often but there are always a few old ones that last. I am a decisive person with ethics and wish more others were also. I think double standards is taking the “easy way out” for some.

Sweets are my guilty pleasure but I find it easier in old age to control it. I put my favorite movies or books here on the blog.

I have a hard time remembering names anymore🙄 and I don’t think a person’s name defines them.

Hard to believe if you read my blog but English was my best subject, math the worst and favorite was sociology.

I had to laugh at this one…photogenic? Omg no! I skip photo sessions at gatherings and chill at the prospect.

I believe there are things in the universe we don’t know and would not comprehend fully. I don’t believe there’s an old white man sitting on a throne in the clouds. Oh oh, was that lightning I just saw😂

I love meeting people and have a tendency to form an opinion right away. I like to see warm smiles that include their eyes. Usually I adopt a go with the flow attitude til proven wrong.

“A sorry state of affairs” she uttered quietly after the waiter plopped the cork in front her husband’s plate. Pouring a bit of wine into the glass as he smiled down at him, some of the red liquid spit out on the white tablecloth. The red faced waiter whipped off the napkin on his arm and quickly covered the mess.

Had this great ambition

As I woke up today

A sunny chilly morning

I’d bring out the words to play

Decided I would spoil myself

Fixed a cup of coconut latte

I stretched out in my recliner

My handy iPhone for wordplay

Then hands around my coffee

Warming up fingers to type away

Then suddenly decided

At least my brain did, anyway

To walk the dog for inspiration

And look for Christmas on display

This year is not the usual

Few lights brighten up the way

And I’m sad to think it’s apathy

That rules the decorated splays

The world keeps on turning

No matter what experts say

I think I’ll choose the happy

And let those other feelings stray

Try to do my best for others

It’s the theme of holidays.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a fantasy novel by the American author V. E. Schwab. It was published by Tor Books on October 6, 2020. The story follows a young French woman in 1714 who makes a bargain with the devil that makes her immortal, but curses her to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

I just finished “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” written by V E Schwab! I listened to the audible version from the library and the narrator is very good. I couldn’t stop listening and completed it in two days. Schwab has many other books to offer so check her out in your local library.
