Here are this week’s questions:

  1.  Can you remember your first camera? I never had one. My husband’s first was a “Brownie”.
  2.  Can you remember when you had your first mobile phone? 2012
  3.  Can you remember your first car. If you don’t drive, can you remember your parents car? The car I learned to drive with was a pea green Volkswagen.
  4.  What was your first job as an adult? On my 18th birthday I became an employee of USACRREL

Gratitude: As always I am grateful for my family’s love and support.

The Writer’s Workshop

Well my family thinks I will live forever, what a horrible thought – a raisined old woman lying around in a corner, occasionally dusted off, requiring no sustenance. Their determination is a result of my dying twice in hospitals. Now I just consulted a surgeon to repair an operation I had in 2015. Apparently he fitted the “ surgeon personality” well because he was a hurried advice giver, basically refusing to do a new op on me. He barely listened and interrupted my answers, deciding I am too fragile ( just because I am wheelchair bound!🙄😳) to withstand the op. My guess he doesn’t want to be blamed if I fail. I thought he was just being informative, but my family said he was an ass——! After getting upset on the drive home, I realized they were right. But, hey, I’m immortal, so will consult a different doc.

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – April 3, 2025

dVerse Poets Haibun Monday

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Your haibun does not have to resemble this one, but for this prompt, I’m asking you to do some time traveling of your own. You may write about your own past, imagine your own future, invent an entirely fictional time-travel tale, or do something in-between.

Time travel is an interesting concept, whether to travel to the past or try to embrace the future. I think my preference would be to spend a first few days after I married, enjoying my husband.

shyness gone

enjoy together

touch embraced

lost love rest in peace

revisit – delight

“Hey, Pickle, are you sure you want to land on that planet? I’ve heard strange things are happening there. I think you know of course, we will be caught and put on a plane to Venezuela. I don’t like the idea of being imprisoned there. Pickle, are you listening to me? Peapod, grab his shute, we need to head to Mars instead! Pickle!”

FFfAW – Welcome Back!

Discarded cups tell the tale. Two people seen at a busy cafe, place their order, tagged number 19. They sit and the meet begins. First smiles, then touching hands, then a shoe meets another’s ankle. The nuance familiar, only the beginning, then chemistry rules. Two wanting lovers leave the cafe.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

I wonder if Trump sits back at night, eating something greasy, and chuckling to himself as he apparently decides to revel in his position of power. I wonder if he watches Fox News and thinks to himself how he has gotten away with all of his misdemeanors, outright criminal behavior and decides to write another executive order that destroys democracy. The constitution means nothing to him, neither do we.
