Just my luck to read this one last

Guess time for my post has passed

I was busy reading other’s blogs

Or still lying in bed like a log

But here I am, finally unstuck

To write about the new prompt luck.

 

 

I usually say luck instead of bless

Explaining this would cause a mess

I do have faith I must confess

I just use luck to not cause stress.

 

 

Some people might get upended

Religious speech gets them offended

I believe it’s your own decision

Your own thoughts don’t need revision.

 

 

My folks used “luck of the Irish”

I can’t think why they thought of this

The Irish history doesn’t seem to be a dish

You’d want to have or even wish.

 

 

Whatever you use, I wish you luck

Any way, but don’t run amok

Be casual, be free and kind

Then any version they won’t mind.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Mar. 18/17

Good mooooorning bloggers! Hope you had a safe St. Patrick’s Day! I didn’t wear green because I don’t have any except a Delta, CO high school soccer t-shirt that is too big for me with short sleeves, which I don’t wear anymore. Whew, what a sentence with useful information! Keep reading for more indisputable news…..not the fake kind😂!

The word for this Saturday is man. If I ever hear it, it’s accompanied by Oh. Like “oh, man” in a sort of groan or whiny voice. I hate to admit this, but that is an OLD saying, from, uh, the seventies? Like, seriously man…man, did you see that? And others. Man, it is searching my mind for more…..like, heavy, man.

I try not to use man in the general sense, afraid to offend you feminists out there, but man, it just doesn’t sound right to say firewoman, firemiss? Firelady? I’ve got it, firefem! That’s cool! A new gender appropriate word, because these days, it’s all about a title for your group. At least according to Mr. T and I’m not talking about the bejeweled actor from the A-Team. If our president has his way, you will get a label and a box to put yourself in, and dare not look or speak to anyone else outside “your group”. Yup, that should solve our problems, poverty, hunger, homelessness, school lunch funding, veterans’ benefits, healthcare……see how easy that was?

As the lavender evening mood descends upon the city

Rushing commuters blur into the bright yellow of subway lights

Charcoal grays and softened blacks smear into the bright red trains

Ladies’ nude, tanned legs smoothly drift in and out of vision

Doors close and the red cars blend into a purple haze as they gain speed 

Silver buildings decrease and spotted hues of green and brown surround them.

There are not many things I like more than Stars and Snowflakes. Here are some examples.

A bridge of stars connects the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two galaxies that orbit our own Milky Way. The bridge’s brightness has been enhanced in this image.

Above are pictured nurseries of bright new stars in red.

He stared into the cave.  It was just as he expected.  Deep, dark, lit with a fiery red, oh that was the best part.  It was hot and the colors made it seem like it was on fire, but he wasn’t getting burned.  Just as she said; so rewarding to have something fulfilled as promised.  He could be happy here, he could find his purpose.  He settled in on the stone throne, surveying his part of hell.  

Thursday photo prompt – Deep #writephoto

You couldn’t describe me as passive

I have a big mouth, but it’s not massive

If I see injustice I will not be passing

By someone who’s hurt by the masses

Prejudice is a wrongful passion

While leaders quickly try to fasten

Their personal beliefs on us, seems drastic

Wish the whole idea was fantastic

But sadly I think it’s very active.

Those ominous clouds

Hold moisture for spring blossoms

But don’t be afraid

There’s no danger in raindrops

They help quench thirsty flowers.

 

 

Colleen’s Weekly #Tanka #Poetry Challenge # 25 – Clouds & Spring

I had a blast doing this last time but I don’t go to the library by myself, so rare. We all usually go when school is out in the summer.

It was just A song of fire and ice, but this was no Enders game.  Oh no, they were serious!  After The day the earth stood still, in 1984, The princess bride, Neuromancer, and The watchmen all got together and decided a fire of Fahrenheit 451 was dangerous, and not be to be taken lightly.  The Brave new world‘s Foundation trilogy decided action had to be taken.The American gods were not to have total control.  Even the residents of Animal farm agreed,  in their own way. Of course they were aware of Slaughterhouse five, so their meetings were secret.  One of them brought up an odd question at the meeting:Do androids dream of electric sheep?  That brought the house down and the relief of laughter.

A clockwork orange rang out a warning to the meeting participants, “Starship troopers on the way! The Watership is down, the Mists of Avalon are coming, The left hand of darkness is upon us and The moon is a harsh mistress!   The war of the worlds is starting, it might be wise to use The time machine.”

The silmarillio, The once and future king, started speaking over the uneasy gathering,”this Childhoods end –  Neverwhere have I seen such chaos.  This was only a fire, and it has been controlled.  There is no need for troopers or panic.  It’s not like Shrike from The Hyperion cantos is coming!  It’s not World war Z!  The last unicorn still lives.  Settle down, treat yourself to a copy of The chronicles of Thomas covenant, the unbeliever.  No need to be Going postal!  The road is written, my friends, have no fear.
