Evidence of greatness

Looking out my window

I see the beauty

Unbothered white blankets

Dipped and folded so softly

The summer stream now icy green –

Reflections from the evergreens

Now only slightly dusted where

The evening’s snowflakes remain

In the cold Vermont countryside.

Wondering – Word of the Day Challenge

I first saw him on the Graham Norton show last week. He sang this song and I tried to find that performance, no luck. But! This gives you an idea of the overall . . .(hot). . .performance. : )

Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, February 27 2019 Morning Glory

Ever forward, no matter the icy wind against my garments, providing a modicum of warmth. I will not be daunted. My quest is sure, my object clear. I must be the one. It is destined, our future together. Only a short distance now, my goal in sight. Her rescue imminent, then the prophecy fulfilled.

I admit it

Out in the open

I love a man

In uniform

Something attracts

Something stirs

Causing acts

Causing whirs

Most any type of “suit” will do

Red, white, black or blue

Wonder about the man inside

Does he have anything to hide?

Possibly, but I confess

It’s the uniform I love best!

FOWC with Fandango — Uniform

She sneaked into the courtyard after everyone else was asleep. It was her nightly routine, to dangle a green cloth over the lowest branch of the cherry tree, there for only him to see. He would wait for it every evening; it was the attractancy of the simple gesture that stirred him. Seeing it was almost a bolt of lightning surging through him anticipating their union. Sixteen year olds falling in love in medieval times was not unusual, although arranged only through strict family decisions.

Each night she was excited to place the tiny signal that meant they would meet again. They both treasured these secret rendezvous. If discovered, the forbidden relationship would cause perturbation in their parents’ eyes. The young lovers knew in their hearts the parents would disapprove, considering the young couple’s wishes mere folly. The lovers were unconcerned with pleasing their elders. They remained determined and proceeded to meet again.

Bobby the bulb was a pesky little guy. He was always trying new things, stirring up trouble and being a general nuisance. His parents, two ceiling lights that had hoped to be chandeliers one day, had finally given up their dreams and spent most of their time trying to keep Bobby under control.

It all started when he figured out he could light himself without the usual electric cord connection. He had seen his older brothers use batteries to light their flashlight bodies, so why not try it himself? Bobby sneaked into the garage and found a box of old parts from a 1980 model cable tv device. He decided to modify it a bit and found he was no longer inhibited by a cord. He could plug himself in at any outlet and the device charged him for about ten hours. It allowed him to play whenever and wherever he wanted.

Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge #2

She wore them only twice

Now they’re stuffed and looking nice

Those societal days are over

Dances now only in clover

Barefoot is the way to choose

No shoes required, so let them loose

Shoes just squish the toes you see

Now they are free, dance easily

Stuffy shoes for stuffy people

She’d rather trip in scented tepals.

She did it well

Her juggling act

They thought it swell

Until walking back

All was going according to her plan

When someone in back turned on the fan

The balls start falling in reverse

Julie was acting quite perverse

The orbs descended on the crowd

Causing frightened screams aloud

Juggling Julie tried hard to recover

But her stage presence was now over.
